The aim of the present study is to describe the course of functional recovery of patients with musculoskeletal tumours and undergone resection and reconstruction operations of lower limbs in the first six months post-surgery, differentiating them on the basis of the anatomical level involved.
Retrospective observational study will be conducted. The evaluation of the patients clinical recovery progress will take place at three different times: during the hospital stay postoperative, at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Different outcome measures will be considered in order to provide a complete picture of the patients functional recovery and their change.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) | Person's level of independence. It is measured through 30 questions relating to 30 activities of daily living to be answered by the patient. The total score is reported from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a greater degree of autonomy. A higher score indicates a greater degree of autonomy. | at 3 months after surgery |
