Here are some different types of treatment methods used by doctors: 1. Limb Sparing Surgery- This particular surgical procedure has helped bone tumor take

huge strides. From the time amputation, was used to treat to the time which has arrived today in views of an orthopedic surgeon in Patna. Unlike amputation the patient gets to keep his/her limbs as only the tumor or as done in many cases the cancerous cells are removed which helps in saving the affected limb says a reputed orthopedic doctor in Patna. It was found that the disease was common in children more than adults and hence its important that the physician tries to make sure to save the growth plate from any damages as it can hinder child’s growth.

2. Wide local excision- In wide local excision a part of cancer along with some part of

joining tissue is kind of plucked out from the remaining part of the body, once the surgery is completed the wounds and everything else is stitched back in views of a best orthopedic doctor in Patna. The wound is larger than many other surgeries as the adjoining skin is also removed along with the tumor and hence require a longer time to be completely treated according to an orthopedic hospital in Patna.
