Track: Arthoplasty and Oncology

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure designed to restore the function of a joint, typically through the replacement of the joint with an artificial prosthesis. Commonly performed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injuries, arthroplasty aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.Oncology, in the context of orthopedics, involves the diagnosis and treatment of bone cancers and metastatic diseases affecting the bones. This includes the management of primary bone cancers like osteosarcoma, as well as metastatic tumors that spread from other parts of the body.
Key Topics and Highlights:
Total Joint Replacement (TJR): A procedure where a damaged joint (usually the hip or knee) is replaced with a
prosthetic device to restore mobility and relieve pain.
Partial Joint Replacement: Involves replacing only the damaged part of a joint, typically in cases of
localized arthritis or joint wear.
Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: The most common types of arthroplasty, these surgeries are performed to treat
advanced arthritis or fractures that significantly impact function.
Bone Tumors: Primary bone cancers, such as osteosarcoma, and metastatic bone tumors
originating from other cancers like breast, lung, or prostate cancer.
Surgical Oncology in
Orthopedics: Focuses on the removal of tumors, bone grafting, or reconstruction following
the excision of malignant bone tumors.
Summary:
This session will explore the intersection of arthroplasty and oncology, focusing on the surgical management of joint diseases and bone tumors. Topics will include advances in joint replacement surgeries such as hip and knee arthroplasty, as well as the role of surgery in managing bone cancers, including the challenges of tumor removal and reconstruction. Experts will discuss the latest surgical techniques, innovations in prosthetic design, and the management of orthopedic malignancies. This session will also cover the multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with bone tumors, combining orthopedic surgery, oncology treatments, and rehabilitation strategies to improve patient outcomes.
