Abstract

Basic partition human anatomy cannot meet the needs of sarcoma barrier resection, and distinctive partition is for the sake of effective surgical treatment [1]. Connection between the seventh cervical spine and bilateral acromion acts as the upper bound, connection between the 12th thoracic spine and bilateral costal trailing edge as the lower bound, and dorsal scapula area is between the bilateral posterior axillary line. The scapula is a composition of channel wall and links thoracic dorsal area at internal segment and links the upper arm at the external end. Deltoid goes across the shoulder and arm, the proximal lateral aspect of upper arm forms the outer wall of the armpit, and primary sarcoma in the shoulder, arm and back has been engaged to each other, which will be more difficult to separate after recurrence, so it will be discussed in an individual chapter. Features (1) The availability of hierarchical barriers is high, and regional and staged barriers are lacking; (2) Control of sarcomas involving the axial skeleton is difficult. Limb preservation and active prosthetic reconstruction become the main surgical treatment principle [2–5].
