The accurate surgical margin before surgery for malignant musculoskeletal tumors: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: There is no accurate volume measurement method for evaluating the response to chemotherapy in malignant musculoskelal tumors, and there is no specific preoperative evaluation method to evaluate surgical margins. Twenty-five cases of malignant musculoskeletal tumors treated from Mar 2012 to Mar 2014 were analyzed. Through the use of a connective slice-scan and augmented virtual reality technique, accurate measurement of the tumor volume and determination of surgical margins according to the standard proposed by Kawaguchi were easily reached. Specimens were sent for a pathological examination to determine the tumor type. The preoperative surgical margin was compared with the postoperative surgical margin. Curative resection or wide resection facilitated by the preoperative imaging data occur
