Benign Bone Tumors (non- cancerous) does not spread to the other parts of the body. These tumors may destroy the bone and surgical treatment is required in order to remove the tumor and thereby restoring the bone health.
Types of bone tumorsThese cancerous tumors require an early treatment at the start of the disease. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the treatments required either before or after the surgery. The aim of the surgery is to remove the entire diseased bone in order to avoid amputation and thereby restoring the appearance and function of the diseased area.
The types include:
They generally occur in the form of capsules of joints like shoulder, foot, hip, knee, elbow or wrist. These lesions can develop and harm or create pain in the joint. The surgical procedure is done to remove the lesion of the joint and thereby restoring the health and function of the diseased area.
The types include:
These tumors mostly arise either in fat or muscle and not in the bone. They can be both malignant or benign. These tumors are rare and generally develops in the pelvic area or in the limbs. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the two treatments available that are done either before or after the surgery.
The types
include:
It is a serious condition where there is a growth of abnormal cells in the bone that could be benign or cancerous. The abnormal growth usually occurs in the areas of fast growth and the reason of this bone tumor is still unknown. Probable causes could be trauma and radiation or inherited mutations. In most cases no particular reason is found for this cancerous condition.
Arthritis
One of the major reasons that affect the knee joint and hinder routine activities is Arthritis. The slowly wearing condition of the tissue on the ends of the bones leads to the reduction of joint space, severe joint pain, shifts in bone movement, and friction in the exposed bone surface.
Types of Arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis occurs from ‘wear and tear’ and is the most common reason for total knee replacement. It usually occurs after the age of 50 and is a genetic problem. When the tissue covering the bones softens and wears away, the bones begin to rub against each other which leads to severe pain.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
When the tissues surrounding the bone release excessive fluid due to inflammation, it causes damage to cartilage and other parts of the joint. This causes pain and stiffness.
Traumatic Arthritis
This type of arthritis usually occurs after a serious knee injury. Due to the knee fracture, the connective tissue and the tissue covering the ends of the bone wears away, resulting in pain and stiffness.

Knee replacements
Total Knee Replacement surgery is one of the most significant advancements of the 20th century. With the rapid improvement in technology, the computer is being increasingly used in knee replacement surgeries, where it helps overcome the drawbacks of conventional surgery. India is among a few affordable destinations in the world for knee replacement surgery.
The typical symptoms which need immediate attention include
• Inability to fully straighten your knees
• Swelling or stiffness
• Popping or crunching noises
• Redness or warmth to touch
Why opt for Computer-assisted joint replacement surgery?
Joint replacement surgery is the last step in treatment for severe arthritis and is most commonly performed in the hip and knee. When a joint replacement surgery is performed, the components of the new implant must be properly positioned. Computer-assisted joint replacement helps in the proper positioning of the implants. The surgeon attaches special reflectors to the patient’s thigh and leg bones that are detected by an infrared camera connected to the computer. The computer subsequently constructs an electronic model of the knee based on the information fed by the surgeon. The computer can then guide the surgeon in achieving the proper positioning of the implants.
Is the proper positioning of implants crucial?
An incorrectly aligned implant can lead to early wear and loosening of the replaced joint. The computer is an important tool to confirm the proper placement of the implants. Though most patients are concerned about the type of implant when considering knee replacement, the most important consideration should be how well these implants are positioned.
Other benefits of Computer Assisted Surgery
• Knee arthritis with complex extra-articular deformities and in situ hardware can be tackled appropriately using a computer where conventional techniques may be inadequate
• In obese patients where limb alignment is difficult to assess, computer improves accuracy and avoids errors
• Less blood loss
• Early functional recovery and quicker discharge from the hospital
