Bone tumour surgery — also called orthopaedic oncology surgery — is the surgical removal of an abnormal growth in or on a bone, whether benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The goal is to remove the abnormal tissue completely, stabilise the bone, relieve pain, and restore as much function as possible. For malignant tumours such as osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma, surgery is the cornerstone of curative treatment and is typically combined with chemotherapy and sometimes radiation. Several surgical approaches exist depending on the tumour type, size, and location: curettage and cavity filling for benign lesions, wide en-bloc resection with limb salvage for most extremity cancers, and amputation when limb preservation is not safely possible. Surgery for bone metastases focuses on stabilising weight-bearing bones and restoring mobility rather than cure. Recovery timelines vary widely — from a few weeks after simpler procedures to many months following complex resection and reconstruction.
The tumour is scraped out of the bone through a small opening and the resulting cavity is filled with bone graft or cement, preserving as much normal bone as possible.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of affected bone and surrounding soft tissues, X-rays of the affected bone (AP and lateral views), CBC, ESR, and CRP, Kidney function tests (KFT) and liver function tests (LFT), PT/INR and coagulation profile, Random blood sugar and HbA1c. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~4 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 20 days
The tumour and a cuff of healthy tissue are removed in one piece, and the gap is reconstructed with a custom metal implant that replaces the resected bone and joint, preserving the limb.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of affected bone and surrounding soft tissues, CT scan of the chest (lung metastasis screen), Whole-body bone scan or PET-CT scan, X-rays of the affected bone (AP and lateral views), CBC, ESR, CRP, and inflammatory markers, KFT, LFT, and coagulation profile (PT/INR), Biopsy / histopathology review if not yet done, Blood group and cross-match (transfusion preparation). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $7,000 – $12,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~7 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 35 days
The affected portion of the limb is surgically removed when limb salvage is not safely possible, with the stump shaped for fitting of a modern prosthetic limb.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of affected bone and surrounding soft tissues, CT scan of the chest (lung metastasis screen), Whole-body bone scan or PET-CT scan, X-rays of the affected bone (AP and lateral views), CBC, ESR, CRP, and inflammatory markers, KFT, LFT, and coagulation profile (PT/INR), Blood group and cross-match, Vascular Doppler of the limb (stump perfusion assessment). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $8,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~7 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 35 days
Tumours of the pelvis or spine are removed through highly specialised operations — such as internal hemipelvectomy or vertebral resection — often involving multiple surgical teams and 3D-planned reconstruction.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of pelvis or spine (full extent mapping), CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, PET-CT or whole-body bone scan, CT angiography (vascular involvement assessment), CBC, ESR, CRP, and inflammatory markers, KFT, LFT, and coagulation profile (PT/INR), Blood group and cross-match, Biopsy / histopathology review if not yet done. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $8,500 – $12,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 38 days
For cancer that has spread to bone from another organ, surgery stabilises the weakened bone — using nails, plates, or joint replacement — to prevent or fix fractures and restore mobility.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of affected bone (AP and lateral views), MRI or CT of affected area, CT scan of chest (primary tumour and lung status), CBC, KFT, LFT, and coagulation profile, Bone metastasis markers (PSA, CA-125, CEA as relevant to primary cancer), Blood group and cross-match. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $8,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~4 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
