Martin M. Malawer – Författare

This is text describes and illustrates limb-sparing surgical procedures in lieu of amputations for bone and soft-tissue tumours of the extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdle, and trunk and abdomen. Many of the procedures described in this text were developed by the authors, Drs. Malawer and Sugarbaker, who have a combined surgical experience of over 50 years. This text has over 400 colour illustrations and schematics drawings, in addition to imaging studies and full colour intra-operative and clinical photographs. The techniques described represent the state-of-the-art in the treatment of adult and pediatric bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. Until the last decade of the 20th century, almost all were routinely treated by amputation, whereas today amputation is required in less than 5 per cent of all cases. This textbook provides step-by-step guidance to surgeons performing surgery for musculoskeletal tumours. Its contents are the result of combined surgical, clinical, and research interests and efforts.
