Full Description
This book brings together a wide spectrum of surgical techniques for tumor excision and limb reconstruction, with special emphasis on practical biological options often used in developing countries. A unique section on pelvic tumors explores reconstruction strategies beyond megaprostheses. Unlike most books on musculoskeletal neoplasms that focus primarily on tumor pathology and outcomes, this volume emphasizes reconstruction techniques and presents the wide range of available options. It bridges a critical gap in surgical oncology literature, making it a valuable reference that deserves a place on every oncologist's shelf.
Key Features:
Explains complex surgical concepts with clarity, supported by high-quality full-color illustrations
Engaging and practical resource for orthopaedic surgeons, oncologists, residents, trainees, and fellows
Blends evidence with step-by-step guidance to serve as a trusted companion for young surgeons
