Israel has an excellent oncology service, whose specialists successfully fight all types of tumours, including osteochondroma. Osteochondroma or osteochondral exostosis is a benign congenital bone tumour that forms from bone and cartilage tissue. Osteochondromas can be multiple or solitary. They are localized on the bones – humerus, femur, and tibia, as well as on the ribs, scapula, and pelvic bones. Exostoses of the bones of the feet, spine, and hands are less common. Osteochondroma is characteristic of childhood and adolescence. The detection of an increase in its size in adults indicates its transformation into a malignant neoplasm.
Treatment of Osteochondroma at Top Ihilov Clinic
At Top Ihilov Clinic in Israel, the only method used for the treatment of osteochondroma is surgical, which involves deep resection of the tumour along with a portion of healthy bone and the surrounding synovial membrane.
There is no need for bone edge defect reconstruction. Surgical treatment of osteochondroma is performed in cases of rapid tumour growth, the presence of a noticeable cosmetic defect, or limitation of movement in the nearby joint. In all other cases, only dynamic observation is indicated.
The diagnosticians and doctors at Top Ihilov Clinic are excellent specialists in their field! They guarantee you their assistance in solving your problem – getting rid of such a disease as osteochondroma! Israel awaits you!
