What are the treatments for benign bone tumors?

Early detection and early treatment are our goals. Usually, the treatment method for benign bone tumors is one of the common surgical resection methods. The prognosis of early benign bone tumors is better. The following is a detailed introduction to the treatment methods of benign bone tumors.

1) Tumor curettage and filling: The purpose is to completely remove the tumor. It is used for tumors that grow outside the bone or benign sclerosing tumors that grow in the medullary cavity.

2) Tumor resection: It is divided into segmental resection of the diseased bone shaft, bone tumors located at the joint end and full bone resection. Most patients need bone transplantation after surgery (a small number of benign tumors that are relatively large or have already had fractures can be treated with this surgery).

Bone reconstruction surgery after treatment of benign bone tumors: Most bone tumor surgeries require the removal of a portion of the bone, so the bone defect must be reconstructed, otherwise it will leave serious functional impairment. For tumor patients with relatively small bone defects, autologous bone transplantation is a traditional and effective reconstruction method. The bones taken are mostly from the middle and upper parts of the ilium and fibula, which will not affect the patient's postoperative movement and quality of life. For patients with relatively large bone defects, limb-saving reconstruction surgery may be necessary. This mainly includes the following methods:

1) Replacement of artificial prosthesis: It is the most widely used and most effective method in limb salvage reconstruction.

2) Bone transplantation: It is one of the most commonly used methods of tissue transplantation. Bone tissue is much easier to preserve than skin, fascia, tendon, blood vessels and other transplanted tissues. Bone transplantation here mainly refers to the combined transplantation of autologous, allogeneic bone and artificial bone.

3) Inactivation and reuse of tumor bone: The bone of the diseased section is removed, and after special inactivation treatment, it is implanted into the human body to reconstruct the function of the limb. It has the advantages of better biological reconstruction and no immune rejection reaction, as well as simple and easy operation and relatively safe.

4) Soft tissue repair: Since tumor patients need extensive soft tissue resection during surgery, soft tissue repair is extremely important after limb-sparing tumor resection surgery in the joint area and during functional reconstruction, and is even directly related to the patient's future quality of life.

Relatively speaking, the treatment effect of benign bone tumors is relatively good. However, it should be noted that the removal of benign tumors must be as thorough as possible. Most benign bone tumors may recur if not completely removed, and the difficulty of treatment will increase after recurrence. A small number of them may even turn into malignant tumors after multiple recurrences.
