Excision of Benign Bone Tumors
Excision of Benign Soft Tissue Tumors
This is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (malignant or benign) of the soft tissues (muscle or fat) while preserving the surrounding healthy bone and soft tissues.
Cryosurgery
Cryosurgery is used in addition to surgery. It is a specialized technique that only a handful of surgeons in the country know how to perform. It is used to kill microscopic tumor cells.
Adductor Muscle of the Inner Thigh Group Excision
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor of the medial adductors muscles, which make up the inner thigh. This is done while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Popliteal Fossa Excision (Back of Knee)
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the posterior knee compartment (back of knee) while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Buttockectomy
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor of the gluteus maximus, also known as the buttock. This is done while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Posterior Thigh (Hamstrings) Excision
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the posterior thigh (hamstring muscles) while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Anterior Thigh (Quadriceps) Excision
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the anterior thigh (quadriceps muscles) while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Soft Tissue Sarcoma Resections
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (malignant or benign) of the soft tissues (muscle or fat) while preserving the surrounding healthy bone and soft tissues.
Limb-Sparing Surgery of the Proximal Tibia
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor, usually malignant or benign aggressive, of the proximal tibia (upper part of your shin bone near knee joint) and in most instances replacing the bone and knee joint with a special customizable proximal tibia tumor prosthesis.
Distal Femur Prosthetic Replacement
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the lower part of the thigh bone (femur) and in most instances replacing the bone and knee joint with a special customizable distal femur tumor prosthesis.
Fibular Resection
A fibular resection is a procedure that involves removing a tumor, usually malignant or benign aggressive, of the fibula. The fibula is the bone that is next to your shin bone. This is done while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Pelvic Resections
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the pelvis while preserving the lower limbs and surrounding tissues.
Proximal Femur Prosthetic Replacement
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the upper leg bone (femur) and in most instances replacing the bone and hip joint with a special customizable proximal femur tumor prosthesis.
Total Femur Prosthetic Replacement
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the thigh bone (femur) and in most instances replacing the entire bone with a special customizable total femur tumor prosthesis.
Distal Humerus and Total Elbow Prosthetic
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the arm bone (humerus) and in most instances replacing the bone/elbow with a special customizable distal humerus tumor prosthesis.
Proximal Humerus Prosthetic Replacement
A proximal humerus prosthetic replacement is a procedure that involves removing a tumor, usually malignant or benign aggressive, of the upper arm bone/humerus and in most instances replacing the bone and shoulder with a special customizable proximal humerus tumor prosthesis.
Radical Resection of Bone Sarcomas
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (malignant or benign) of the bone while preserving the surrounding healthy bone and soft tissues and reconstructing the defect (space where tumor was removed) with a tumor prosthesis.
Endoprostethic Reconstruction
It is a procedure that involves removing a tumor (usually malignant or benign aggressive) of the bone and replacing it with a metal prosthesis to preserve the limb.
