Zorro's "redemption" - a broken bone, looking for a bone oncologist

Zorro – a righteous man who upholds justice and pursues freedom. When you are unfortunate enough to have a fracture, and it is a strange fracture, engraved with the "Z" word, please find a professional bone oncologist for the first time.

When the force acting on the bone is greater than the bearing force of the bone itself, the bone will break, resulting in a fracture. Common causes of fractures include falls from heights, car accidents, heavy body injuries, strenuous exercise, and so on. In general, normal fractures are characterized by a clear course, obvious symptoms, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment.

There is a type of fracture, which is very strange. Fractures were broken without obvious violence. For example, a lazy waist fracture, a sneeze fracture, a walking slip a thigh fracture, a bicycle and other red light legs on the ground fracture. This type of fracture is not simple, be more careful, it may be a pathological fracture caused by bone tumors.

From the X-ray we can see that the bones are full of worm-like small holes, the bone structure is destroyed, and it only takes a gentle force for the fracture to occur.

The diagnosis and treatment of pathological fractures is not easy to make accurate judgments. Because there is no clear course of the disease, patients may or may not have vague pain before the fracture; there are no obvious symptoms, and some patients do not have the same painful appearance after the fracture, and appear quiet or painful.

The biggest confusion about pathological fractures, or the easiest doctor to misdiagnose, is: those that look like normal fractures. Orthopedic surgeons who are not specialized in bone oncology sometimes mistake tumor fractures for surgery as normal fractures. However, if the fracture is only fixed without removing the tumor, the tumor will continue to grow, eventually leading to treatment failure, at this time, patients often face the fate of amputation.

Treatment options that are appropriate for pathological fractures are especially important!!
