Abstract:
Bone tumors present complex challenges in orthopaedic oncology, requiring precise management strategies to restore skeletal integrity and function with minimal morbidity. Traditional autologous bone grafting has been the gold standard due to its osteogenic, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive properties. However, limitations such as donor site morbidity and graft availability have prompted the development of alternative approaches.This review evaluates contemporary approaches in bone tumor management, focusing on advancements in bone grafting techniques, bone graft substitutes (eg, ceramics, polymers, bioactive materials), and growth factor-based therapies. The efficacy and safety of these substitutes are compared with autografts, examining their potential benefits and drawbacks.Recent innovations in bone graft substitutes show promise in overcoming autograft limitations. Ceramic, polymer, and bioactive materials offer diverse properties that may enhance bone regeneration. Growth factor-based therapies, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), have revolutionized bone healing by stimulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis.

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...

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...
