• Helps frame the tradeoff between preoperative and postoperative radiation timing — preoperative radiation reduces long-term dose burden but this data shows it comes with a higher acute wound complication rate for larger tumors. • Identifies proximal tumor location, prior wound complications, and higher radiation dose as factors that stack the risk for chronic limb morbidity, useful for counseling patients and planning follow-up. • The low fracture rate (1.2%) argues against routine prophylactic fixation in this population, addressing a specific management question that comes up when combining radiation with limb-sparing surgery.
