This scoping review aims to explore non-oncological physical, functional and quality of life (QoL) outcomes in patients diagnosed with sarcoma around the knee who underwent LSS. Methods: A literature review was conducted based on a systematic approach by generating an appropriate research question, identifying the search criteria, electronically searching databases, thematically analysing findings and discussing the results. Findings: Twelve studies met the search criteria and were eligible for the review. The papers were heterogeneous in their population, procedures and healthcare plan. Three themes were identified: a) functional outcomes, b) QoL, and c) gait and knee goniometry. Functional outcomes showed good-to-excellent levels based on valid outcome measures. QoL varied widely and demonstrated mild-to-moderate disability levels. Gait was assessed in only one paper in which stiff knee gait was exhibited by the patients. Conclusion: Limited studies were eligible for this literature review, leading to inconclusive findings due to the inconsistency of the studies’ results and to the rarity of this disease and its under-represented population.
