Track: Orthopedic Oncology
Orthopedic oncology requires surgeons to balance the oncologic imperative of complete tumor resection against preserving limb function. This session builds on themes explored in 3D printing and digital technology in orthopedic surgery, examining current approaches to bone and soft-tissue tumor management.
Key Topics and Highlights:
Diagnosis, Staging, and Biopsy Technique: Accurate diagnosis depends on appropriate imaging and biopsy planning. This subtopic emphasizes the importance of technique in preserving future limb-salvage options.
Endoprosthetic and Custom Implant Reconstruction: Specialized tumor implants, often produced using advances discussed in 3D printing and digital technology, restore function following resection. This subtopic reviews current outcomes data.
Biological Reconstruction Options: Allograft and vascularized autograft reconstruction offer alternatives to endoprosthetic replacement. This subtopic compares approaches across function and complication rates.
Pediatric Considerations in Orthopedic Oncology: Expandable prostheses accommodate ongoing growth in younger patients, connecting to pediatric orthopedics. This subtopic addresses growth-related reconstruction planning.
Managing Metastatic Bone Disease: Pathologic and impending pathologic fractures require tailored stabilization strategies. This subtopic covers surgical approaches aimed at preserving mobility in advanced disease.
If your research advances orthopedic oncology, we welcome you to submit an abstract and share findings from a field where surgical innovation directly shapes survival and quality of life.
