Bone Cancer: Cancer that starts in a bone is rare. Cancer that has spread to the bone from another part of the body is more common. There are three types of bone cancer: Osteosarcoma - develops in growing bones, usually between ages 10 and 25 Chondrosarcoma - starts in cartilage, usually after age 50 Ewing\'s sarcoma - begins in nerve tissue in bone marrow of young people, often after treatment of another condition with radiation or chemotherapy The most common symptom of bone cancer is pain. Other symptoms may vary depending on the location and size of the cancer. Surgery is often the main treatment for bone cancer. Other treatments may include amputation, chemotherapy and radiation Bone cancer surgery: Bone cancer surgery is the most common bone cancer treatment. Although amputation of a limb is sometimes necessary, chemotherapy has made limb-sparing bone cancer surgery possible in many cases. When possible, surgeons avoid amputation by removing only the cancerous section of the bone and replacing it with an artificial device called prosthesis or with bone from another place in the body. In some cases, all or part of an arm or leg may have to be removed (amputated) to make sure that all of the cancer is taken out. If the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, the lymph nodes will also be removed (this is called lymph node dissection). 1. Treatment type surgery, which includes limb-salvage surgery, amputation, curettage and cryosurgery. Limb-salvage surgery: This is a complex surgery where the cancer is removed preserving the bone\'s limb, tendons, nerves and blood vessels. The removed bone is replaced with a bone graft or artificial replacement endoprosthesis (an internal prosthesis from metal or similar materials). The side effects of this surgery are infections, and grafts or rods that break or get loose. Few others surgeries are needed in the following 5 years, and eventually, some patients may need bone amputation. A patient with limb-salvage surgery needs one year to recuperate and has to participate actively in his own rehabilitation in order to make the bone (especially the arm or leg bone) functional again. Amputation: This is other types of surgery where the tumor is removed with the bone to stop the cancer from spreading. Usually, amputation is chosen when the tumor has spread to the bone\'s nerves and blood vessels, and the limb cannot be saved. During the surgery, the doctor constructs a cuff from the muscles and skin to protect and cover the amputated bone. The removed bone is than replaced with a prosthesis limb. Amputee patients need to recuperate with special physical therapy. Curettage: This is a medical procedure where the tumor is "scooped out" from the bone without removing the surrounding bone. Usually, the area is then treated to kill any remaining cancerous cells. Cryosurgery: This is a type of curettage procedure where the tumor is removed without the bone, and the tumor cavity is treated with liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen freezes the tumor cavity which kills the remaining cancerous cells. The frozen bone is re-stabilized by filling the tumor cavity with cement, bone grafts or rods and screws to prevent a future bone fracture. This procedure decreases the chance for the bone cancer to reoccur. 2. Reconstructive surgery, which includes rotatinoplasty. Rotatinoplasty is a reconstructive surgery used when amputation was performed on: 1) The mid-thigh leg bone the lower leg and the foot are rotated and reattached to the thigh bone, and the ankle functions as a knee joint. After the surgery, the patient\'s leg is extended with a prosthetic device. 2) The upper arm bone - the lower arm is reattached to the amputated bone, and the patient will have a shorter but functional arms. 3) The lower jaw bone - the entire lower half of the jaw bone is removed and later replaced with a bone from other parts of the body.
