This atlas offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to surgical procedures using high-quality labeled surgical images, elucidating anatomical approaches for all aspects of sarcoma management. The depicted procedures guide from surgical access to dissection through anatomical layers, with vital structures, major vessels, nerves, and other crucial elements clearly marked for correlation with the sarcoma prior to resection. Covering both simple and complicated procedures, the atlas encompasses a range of surgical approaches and their modifications for sarcoma resection. Additionally, it explores various options for bone and joint reconstruction, advanced microsurgical techniques, and flap procedures. Each chapter presents cases illustrating surgical principles essential for achieving oncological margins while optimizing function in the diverse heterogeneity of sarcoma cases.
This book focuses on bone tumor resection for both upper and lower limbs, along with applicable reconstructions. It includes insights into allograft usage and cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen, as well as a chapter on computer-aided resection with 3D printing of implants.
This book enriches the repertoire of surgical procedures essential for orthopaedic oncology surgeons. It serves as a valuable reference and guide for surgeons and trainees in orthopaedic oncology, as well as plastic and reconstructive surgeons with an interest in limb salvage.
