Israel has an excellent oncology service, whose specialists successfully combat all types of tumors, including osteochondroma. Osteochondroma or osteochondral exostosis is a benign congenital bone tumor formed from bone and cartilage tissue. Osteochondromas can be multiple or solitary. They localize 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 rarer. Osteochondroma is characteristic of childhood and adolescence. However, an increase in its size in adults indicates its transformation into a malignant neoplasm.

Treatment of Osteochondroma at the Top Ichilov Clinic

At the Top Ichilov clinic in Israel, the only method used for the treatment of osteochondroma is surgical, which involves deep resection of the tumor 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 tumor growth, the presence of a noticeable cosmetic defect, or when there is limited movement in the adjacent joint. In all other cases, only dynamic observation is indicated.

The diagnosticians and doctors at the Top Ichilov 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 is waiting for you!
