Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology

Background:

  • Significant advancements in understanding tumor natural history and treatment over the past two decades.
  • Distinction between benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors is critical for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide guidance on the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal tumors.
  • To emphasize the role of community orthopaedic surgeons in managing benign lesions.
  • To highlight the necessity of specialized care for malignant tumors by orthopaedic oncologists.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established principles in the evaluation and treatment of bone and soft-tissue tumors.
  • Discussion biased towards the management of benign lesions by general orthopaedic surgeons.
  • Emphasis on the critical importance of initial patient assessment and treatment for malignant lesions.

Main Results:

  • Many benign bone and soft-tissue tumors are manageable by community orthopaedic surgeons.
  • Malignant lesions necessitate the expertise of experienced orthopaedic oncologists.
  • Initial management decisions significantly impact survival and limb preservation for malignant tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to basic principles enables successful treatment of musculoskeletal tumors by orthopaedic surgeons.
  • Community orthopaedic surgeons are well-positioned to manage benign musculoskeletal tumors.
  • Patients with malignant musculoskeletal tumors require prompt referral to orthopaedic oncologists due to the complexity and high stakes involved.
