Frequently Asked Questions

What are the early warning signs of a bone tumor?

Common symptoms include localized bone pain that worsens at night or during rest, unexplained swelling or palpable lump near a joint, unexplained bone fracture from minimal trauma (pathological fracture), and fatigue or localized joint stiffness.

What is Limb Salvage Surgery for bone cancer?

Limb salvage (limb-sparing) surgery is an advanced oncologic technique where the tumorous bone segment is completely excised with clear surgical margins, and the limb is reconstructed using custom modular mega-prostheses or biological bone grafts, avoiding amputation in over 90% of cases.

How are benign bone tumors like Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) treated?

Benign aggressive tumors such as Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) and aneurysmal bone cysts are treated with extended intralesional curettage, high-speed burring, adjuvant chemical cauterization, and cavity filling with bone cement or bone graft to minimize recurrence.

How is a bone tumor accurately diagnosed at Valli Hospital?

We perform digital high-resolution CT/MRI scans, whole-body bone scans, and image-guided core needle biopsies analyzed by experienced histopathologists to identify exact tumor histology before commencing treatment.

Who leads the orthopedic oncology service?

Our surgical team is led by Dr. T. Natanasabapathy (Chief Orthopedic Surgeon) in coordination with multidisciplinary oncology specialists and diagnostic radiologists.
