What Is Orthopedic Oncology?
Orthopedic oncology focuses on tumors and tumor-related conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, including bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues.
Some tumors are benign and may require monitoring or treatment to prevent complications. Others may be malignant and require surgical management, reconstruction, or coordination with cancer specialists. Orthopedic oncologists also help manage bone complications related to metastatic cancer and pathologic fractures.
