Better understanding of tumor biology, effective chemotherapy, improved imaging studies, new surgical techniques and prosthetic designs have enabled majority of bone cancers to be treated by limb salvage surgery. Lower extremity bone defects that mainly occur following removal of bone tumors can be managed by modular or custom-made 3d printed endo-prosthetic reconstruction or by biological reconstruction methods such as recycled tumor-bearing autografts with or without vascularized fibula autograft (VFA...

All the bones inside our bodies are formed with two types of cells, namely osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclast cells are responsible for dissolving old bones. On the other hand, osteoblast cells help in the formation and maintenance of new bones. In the normal scenario, our bone cells are aware of their growth limits. However, due to several reasons, our bones develop abnormal cells that grow uncontrollably. This results in the formation of a tumour.
It is important to know that most of these tumours are harmless. Only a very f... Read More
