Orthopedic oncology is a specialized field within orthopedic surgery that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of primary benign and malignant tumors of the bones. Orthopedic oncologists are physicians and surgeons who have expertise in managing bone and soft tissue tumors.
Here are some key points about orthopedic oncology:
· Definition: Orthopedic oncology involves the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors, including both benign and malignant tumors.
· Treatment: Orthopedic oncologists use a combination of treatments and therapies to manage bone tumors, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
· Surgical Procedures: Orthopedic oncologists may perform various surgical procedures to remove tumors, reconstruct affected bones, and restore function. These procedures can include limb-sparing surgeries, amputations, bone grafts, and joint replacements.
· Multidisciplinary Approach: Orthopedic oncology often involves a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including orthopedic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and physical therapists. This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive and personalized care for patients.
· Rehabilitation: After treatment, orthopedic oncology patients may undergo rehabilitation to regain strength, mobility, and function. Physical therapy and occupational therapy play important roles in the recovery process.
