This atlas presents a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases. It covers the fundamentals of orthopedic oncology complemented with relevant aspects that are demonstrated using individual cases. In a specialty that deals with a relatively smaller number of cases compared to tumors of other systems, this atlas prepares readers for clinical practice by combining a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, which lies on the continuum between structured and guided learning, with theory and practical insights.The book is divided into sections, arranged according to anatomical regions and the reconstruction type. Each section focuses on a specific anatomical region, and each case presentation includes the basic clinical history, basic principles, preoperative, perioperative and radiographic images, a pitfall list, treatment strategy, technical pearls, outcomes and complications. For each region the authors discuss both the biological and non-biological reconstruction techniques.The book is designed to actively involve the reader, making it an invaluable tool for all orthopedic surgeons confronted with oncologic surgery. The book is intended for trainees in orthopedics, orthopedic oncology fellows as well as practicing consultants.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of both diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue tumors, ranging from imaging and pathological work-up to non-surgical treatment options and limb salvage surgery.In the first part readers will learn currents concepts, controversial areas and future perspectives in the classification, diagnostics and treatment of soft tissue tumors. The second part is entirely devoted to the presentation of several clinical cases grouped together by anatomical region. On the whole, this work not only shares the most up-to-date knowledge but also envisions a more philosophical and in-depth approach to this challenging group of tumors.Written by internationally renowned experts in the field, this volume is a must-read for senior orthopedic surgery residents, orthopedic oncology fellows and orthopedic oncologists. It will further appeal to musculoskeletal pathologists and radiologists as well as clinical, pediatric and radiation oncologists, wishing to deepening their knowledge of soft tissue tumors.

This atlas provides a step-by-step guide to surgical procedures through high-quality labeled surgical images, describing the anatomical approaches for all regions of sarcoma management. The procedures depict surgical access progressing to dissection through the anatomical layers, with vital structures, major vessels, nerves, and other important structures clearly marked and labeled for a clear understanding of their correlation with the sarcoma prior to resection. This atlas describes both simple and complicated procedures, encompassing the varied gamut of surgical approaches and their modifications for sarcoma resection. It also describes various options for bone and joint reconstruction, advanced microsurgical techniques, and flap procedures. The cases illustrated in each chapter will help the reader better comprehend the surgical principles necessary for achieving oncological margins while optimizing function in the complex heterogeneity of sarcoma cases.The book includes resection of soft tissue sarcomas for both the upper and lower limbs and applicable reconstructions. Pelvic sarcoma resections and reconstruction are described in detail, along with major amputations like forequarter amputation and external hemipelvectomy.This book adds to the armamentarium of surgical procedures necessary for all orthopedic oncology surgeons. It serves as a valuable reference and guide for surgeons and trainees in orthopedic oncology, as well as plastic and reconstructive surgeons with an interest in limb salvage
