Musculoskeletal oncology reconstructions in India - Changes in this millennium!
1Tata Memorial Centre, HBNI, Mumbai, India.
Abstract:
This article briefly describes the evolution of orthopaedic oncology as practised in India over the last two decades. Striking the right balance between adequate resection and functional reconstruction with locally available expertise and resources is a challenging task. Techniques practised by Indian surgeons' have garnered global acceptability, both as durable biological options and cost effective practices in a world which faces ever increasing healthcare budgetary constraints and limitations.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
