Limb salvage surgery is a complex oncological and reconstructive operation that removes a bone or soft tissue tumour from the arm or leg while preserving the limb. It is the standard surgical treatment for most primary bone cancers — such as osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma — as well as soft tissue sarcomas and selected metastatic bone tumours. The procedure involves a wide resection of the tumour with a surrounding margin of healthy tissue, followed by reconstruction of the bone, joint, and soft tissues using a metal tumour implant (endoprosthesis), donor or patient bone grafts, or a combination of both. For most patients with localised sarcomas, limb salvage achieves cancer control comparable to amputation while offering better long-term function. Surgery is typically one part of a larger treatment plan that also includes chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy.
The tumour is removed and the gap is filled using bone taken from the patient's own body or a donor, preserving the limb without a metal implant.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of the affected limb (tumour extent and neurovascular involvement), CT scan of the chest (lung metastasis staging), PET-CT or bone scan (whole-body staging), Biopsy review / histopathology confirmation, CBC, LFT, KFT, serum electrolytes, PT/INR and coagulation profile, ECG, 2D Echocardiography. 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
The tumour and affected bone segment are removed and replaced with a custom metal tumour implant (megaprosthesis), allowing earlier weight-bearing and movement.
