    When problems affect our bones and joints, they can influence our mobility and ability to lead independent lives. Now, think about the complications that arise when cancer develops in these regions. Orthopaedic Oncology is a specialised field within orthopaedics that deals with the tumours affecting bones, joints, and soft tissues in the limbs. These tumours can be benign (non-spreading) or malignant (sarcomas/bone cancer). Early detection and treatment by an orthopaedic oncology surgeon offer the best chance for a cure.

    In addition, tumours from other organs may spread to the 206 bones in the body, causing pain and fractures. Proper diagnosis of bone cancer involves X-rays, MRI scans, and biopsies. Once diagnosed, our orthopaedic oncologists work with medical and radiation oncologists to plan treatment. This may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, all aimed at removing the tumour while preserving limb function.

    In the orthopaedic department at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, we specialise in orthopaedic oncology. With highly skilled orthopaedic oncologists and advanced cancer care technologies, we stand as the best hospital for bone cancer treatment in Hyderabad.

    An Orthopaedic Oncologist/Onco-surgeon plays a crucial role in the treatment of various conditions, including:

    • Swellings in the limbs, pelvis, and spine (both bony and soft tissue).
    • Benign bone tumours such as Giant cell tumour (GCT), Fibrous dysplasia, Enchondromas.
    • Malignant bone tumours, including Osteosarcoma, Chondrosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and others.
    • Benign and malignant soft tissue tumours in the limbs, spine, and pelvic areas, such as lipoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and more.
    • Cancers from other organs spread to the bone, causing pain or fractures (Metastasis or Secondaries to the bone).
    • Pathological fractures and recurrent tumours.
    • Revision Mega prosthesis and Limb Salvage.
    • Cystic lesions of the bone, including Simple bone cysts and Aneurysmal bone cysts.
    • Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and rare bone lesions.
    • Advanced surgeries like Extracorporeal Radiation Therapy (ECRT).
    • Undiagnosed pain or problems in the limbs, spine, and pelvis.
    • Assessment of undiagnosed bone or soft tissue issues through imaging studies.
    • Biopsy (Keyhole), diagnosis, decision-making, and surgical interventions for bone pain and swellings.

    As Orthopaedic Oncology is a specialised and challenging sub-specialty, it is recommended to seek treatment from fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Onco-surgeons for optimal outcomes. At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our orthopaedic oncologists are well-trained with many years of experience. These experts can make the critical difference in saving a limb, reducing the risk of tumour recurrence, and ensuring patient satisfaction.

    FAQ's

    Several factors raise the risk of developing bone cancers, although not all factors apply to every type of bone cancer. Previous radiation therapy Previous treatment with anticancer drugs Undergoing a bone marrow transplant Specific conditions like hereditary retinoblastoma, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Bloom syndrome, Werner syndrome and Paget disease of the bone

    The primary objective of bone cancer surgery is to completely excise the tumour along with a margin of healthy tissue surrounding it. The extent of tissue or structures removed depends on the tumour's spread. Usually, reconstruction is performed concurrently with cancer removal surgery.

    Recovery from bone cancer surgery can be lengthy, and the process of regaining mobility may feel challenging. Weight-bearing comfortably on a prosthetic limb might take several months, and achieving full comfort in the limb may require additional time. However, most individuals reach this stage within a year following surgery.
