LIMB SALVAGE

Surgical techniques and oncological treatment methods used in the treatment of bone tumors ensure the prevention of long losses and increase the life time and quality. Thanks to these techniques, by performing surgical intervention without the need to cut the limb, the limbs of patients with bone and soft tissue cancer are protected by 90%. However, after the procedure, the person may need reconstructive surgery (correction surgery) in order to reuse the relevant arm or leg. For this purpose, a prosthesis suitable for the anatomy of the body can be used to fill the removed bone. With the production of 3rd generation prostheses used in bone cancer treatment, serious contributions have been made to the treatment of many patients.
