Summary

This study aims to collect clinical outcomes data, particularly quality of life and limb function outcomes, from patients who have undergone either a surgical procedure to remove/treat bone and soft tissue tumours (cancer patients) or patients who have undergone a complex hip reconstruction surgery (non-cancer patients) to determine how these outcomes relate to surgical factors. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 16 or older, and you are attending for consultation with one of the participating surgeons for management (surgery with or without chemotherapy or radiotherapy) of bone and soft tissue (sarcoma) tumours, or for surgery to revise a failed or infected hip replacement (non-cancer patients). Study details All participants who choose to enrol in this study will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires around the time of their first consultation with the surgeon, and again at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60 months (5 years) following definitive treatment (whether treatment is surgical or otherwise). Participants will be able to complete these questionnaires in their own time via an online link, or can complete them at their regular follow up clinic visits. It is anticipated that completing all of the questionnaires at each timepoint will take around 20 minutes. It is hoped this research will provide surgeons with information which will be used to improve the precision of patient counselling preoperatively, and to tailor treatment decisions and post-operative management in order to maximise patient quality of life. The data will also be analysed together and results shared with the scientific community, to help patients in the future.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

The CompResSOR Registry is a long-term data collection study designed to track the quality of life and physical function outcomes of patients who undergo complex bone tumour surgery or difficult hip reconstruction procedures. By gathering this information across many patients over many years, researchers aim to better understand what factors — such as surgical technique, tumour type, or implant choice — most influence how patients recover and live their lives after major surgery. Participants complete questionnaires at the time of their first surgical consultation and again at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 60 months after their procedure. These take approximately 20 minutes each and can be completed online or at clinic visits. The information gathered will be used to improve how surgeons counsel patients before surgery and tailor treatment plans to maximise long-term quality of life. You may be eligible if you are 16 years of age or older and are being seen by one of the participating surgeons either for management of a bone or soft tissue tumour (sarcoma) or for revision surgery on a failed or infected hip replacement. Participation involves no extra procedures — only questionnaires — making it a low-burden way to contribute to important surgical research.

Interventions

Participants will be undergoing multidisciplinary management of bone and soft tissue tumours, or surgery to revise a failed or infected hip replacement. Multidisciplinary management of bone and soft tissue tumours may include surgical resection with or without reconstruction using prostheses or bone/tissue grafts, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy if indicated, radiation therapy, and postoperative physical rehabilitation. Hip arthroplasty revisions will be performed with indicated surgical techniques, hardware, grafts, debridement and antibiotic therapy if indicated, and postoperative physical rehabilitation. For the registry, participants will agree to the transfer of routinely captured clinical information from their surgeon's records to the registry database. This includes demographic information, medical history, results of testing, and details of any procedures performed for management of the participant's condition. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires to assist with clinical monitoring. For the purposes of the registry, these will be administered electronically at baseline, and again at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 5 years after definitive treatment. Participants will be able to complete the questionnaires (a maximum of 6 at one time) at home on their preferred device, or in clinic during routine clinical followup visits. The questionnaires are expected to take no more than twenty minutes to complete at each followup.
