What is Ortho-Oncology Reconstruction?

Ortho-oncology reconstruction is a surgical approach to restore anatomy and function after the removal of bone tumors or soft tissue sarcomas. This complex process often involves reconstructive procedures that blend orthopedic oncology and plastic surgery. The goal is to preserve limbs, maintain movement, and restore cosmetic appearance while ensuring the oncological safety of the patient. It is an integral part of cancer-related orthopedic surgery.
Common Indications
- Bone tumors such as osteosarcoma or Ewing's sarcoma often require reconstruction post-excision
- Soft tissue sarcomas involving the extremities may need reconstructive flaps or grafts
- Limb salvage surgery after tumor resection to avoid amputation
- Reconstructive needs following failed orthopedic surgeries or infections in cancer cases
Techniques Used
- Microsurgical free flaps for soft tissue coverage and functional restoration
- Bone grafting or vascularized fibula grafts for bony continuity
- Endoprosthesis or custom implants to restore joint and limb function
- Composite tissue transfer for large, complex orthopedic oncologic defects
About the Surgery/Treatment
Dr. Saxena’s ortho-oncology reconstruction procedures for bone and soft tissue are precisely planned and executed using advanced microsurgical techniques.
Treatment Process
- Initial oncological surgery is performed to remove the tumor with clear margins
- Reconstructive surgery follows, tailored to the size, location, and type of defect

Benefits of this Surgery
- Preserves limb and functional mobility

Frequently Asked Questions
Ortho-oncology reconstruction is a surgical process used to restore bone and soft tissue structures after cancer-related surgeries. It helps maintain limb function, preserve appearance, and improve overall quality of life. It is commonly performed after bone tumor excision or soft tissue sarcoma removal.
Limb salvage surgery is often possible thanks to advanced microsurgical and reconstructive techniques. Dr. Bharat Saxena evaluates each case carefully with orthopedic oncologists to determine if reconstruction can safely replace amputation.
The initial recovery usually takes about 6–8 weeks, with complete healing and functional recovery continuing over 3–6 months. This varies depending on the extent of surgery, type of reconstruction used, and patient condition.
While complete restoration depends on multiple factors, most patients regain significant mobility and function. Physical therapy plays a vital role in achieving optimal outcomes. Reconstructed limbs can offer a good quality of life, often comparable to pre-treatment levels.
Dr. Saxena combines extensive reconstructive expertise with a deep understanding of oncologic surgery, making him one of the best ortho-onco surgeons in Mumbai.

When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.

Dr. Bharat Saxena is exceptionally passionate about his work, approaching it with the dedication of someone who truly worships his profession. Meeting him changed my perspective on how compassionate and humble a doctor can be, especially in a country like India, where human life often isn’t valued as it should be. In these times, Dr. Saxena stands out, treating his patients with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Saxena for the way he treated my father during his mouth cancer surgery. He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine.
