A more detailed cross\u2010sectional review was performed on 450 tumors resected in 2016.

Orthopedic surgeons were more likely to resect malignant tumors (28.2%) than plastic and general surgeons (14.0% and 4.5%). 16.3% of tumors resected by general surgeons had either Preoperative MRI or tissue diagnosis, compared to 42.6% for plastic surgeons and 90.5% for orthopedic surgeons (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Of the tumors resected by general surgeons without Preoperative MRI or tissue diagnosis, 2.6% were malignant. Finally, Postoperative documentation of neurovascular status, range of motion, and referral to physical therapy were more likely performed by orthopedic surgeons (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Practice patterns vary significantly among orthopedic, plastic, and general surgeons treating soft tissue tumors of the extremities and pelvis.
