About Orthopedic Oncology

An orthopedic (orthopaedic) oncology is the study, diagnoses and treatment of primary benign and malignant tumors of the bones. As the residency progresses, the level of injury, disease and trauma treated by the resident becomes increasingly complex. By completion of the residency program, the orthopedic surgeon should be able to competently diagnose and treat a variety of injury and trauma to the bony structures of the body.
