In general, common surgical treatments for bone cancer include:

Currently, the commonly used surgical methods for treating bone cancer include curettage, resection, and amputation:

Curettage is to cut open the bone wall containing the tumor and scrape away the tumor tissue to achieve the purpose of treating bone cancer. This operation is suitable for enchondroma, bone cyst, bone eosinophilic granuloma and small-scale giant cell tumor of bone in the metacarpal bones. The cavity left after tumor curettage can be filled with bone grafts.

Resection is a surgery to remove a tumor that protrudes out of the bone from its base. This method of treating bone cancer is mainly applicable to osteochondroma. The resection should include the cartilage cap of the tumor, the fibrous tissue surrounding the cap, and the entire base.

Resection is the removal of the entire section of the bone where the tumor is located. It is suitable for giant cell tumors with a large destruction range and some low-grade malignant tumors such as fibrosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Some defects left after the resection of the bone do not need to be repaired, such as the proximal fibula and the distal ulna, but most of them need to be repaired with artificial joints, allogeneic bones or autologous bones. This is also a common surgical method for treating bone cancer.
