Thirty years of surgical practice provide the discernment necessary to separate functional results from industry gimmicks. We prioritize the preservation of the human frame through a closed-loop system of diagnosis, resection, and reconstruction. This framework manages catastrophic mechanical and pathological failure where standard orthopaedic options have been exhausted.
We eliminate diagnostic lag by internalizing the clinical audit. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) provides immediate bedside assessment of joint mechanics and soft tissue architecture. We perform joint aspirations, injections, and bone or soft tissue biopsies on-site, using histology to ground every surgical path in pathological truth.
Management of Musculoskeletal Oncology centers on the definitive resection of primary bone and soft tissue sarcomas. We provide specialized surgical intervention for the most aggressive bone malignancies, including Osteosarcoma, Ewing’s Sarcoma, and Chondrosarcoma. Our soft tissue oncology practice manages complex Liposarcomas, Malignant Fibrous Histiocytomas (MFH), and Myxofibrosarcomas, ensuring wide oncological clearance while preserving neurovascular integrity. For benign conditions, we apply the same mechanical rigor to the management of bone tumors such as Giant Cell Tumors (GCT), Enchondromas, Exostoses, and Osteoid Osteomas. In the soft tissue realm, we address Lipomas, Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS), Fibromatosis, and Nerve Sheath Tumors. We utilize advanced limb salvage techniques—including bone lengthening, cryosurgery, and epiphysiodesis—to restore the human frame after tumor extirpation.
Mechanical restoration follows a rigorous structural audit. We utilize biological grafts, megaprostheses, and 3D-printed custom implants to rebuild the skeleton after tumor resection or catastrophic trauma. For failed primary surgeries, Revision Arthroplasty addresses massive bone loss and joint instability through computer-guided robotic assistance. Technical interventions include arthrodesis, total joint replacement, and major joint reconstruction.
We restore the kinetic chain through targeted trauma and soft tissue interventions. This includes fracture treatment (ORIF), debridement of compound fractures, and the management of septic joints. Specialized repairs involve microvascular surgery, neurolysis, peripheral nerve repair, and tendon transplants. For joint stability, we utilize arthroscopy for knee ligament repair and meniscal surgery.
Functional recovery is managed via in-house physiotherapy and motion capture gait analysis to ensure surgical intent is translated into movement. We apply biologics—Stem Cells, PRP, and Autologous Protein Solution (APS)—only where clinical evidence supports their efficacy in delaying joint wear. For pediatric care, we employ the region's only silent cast cutter to remove the acoustic trauma and anxiety of traditional methods. Every asset in this clinic is selected based on three decades of verified utility.

We provide an onsite histological service designed to give a quick read for biopsy slides that may be brought from overseas. The field of musculoskeletal oncology is diverse and highly specialised and often the diagnosis posed may be controversial. By providing this service we hope to cut down the time it takes to provide the most appropriate siting of care.
We provide on-site biopsy services to reduce cost and lag time to definitive treatment. This can be highly advantages in starting timely care for the in-flight patient.
We provide the region's first pediatric silent cast cutter specially imported for children who can be highly distressed by the standard cast cutters on the market. This has been done at considerable cost but would provide an unparalleled level of consideration and comfort for the child who needs a cast removed.
We have recently acquired motion capture technology on sight that can aid in optimal evaluation and feedback for muscle efficiency and movement disorders. This can also be used to optimize athletic performance. For more information email us at info@limbsalvagesurgery.com

In recognition of the close collaboration between rehabilitation and medical care for the patients who undergo the challenging procedures we offer, we now provide an in-house physiotherapy service which, in addition to the evaluation systems featured above also provide for novel methodologies like the CTU-Mega 18 Diamagnetic Pump for pain and oedema control.
We perform in-house ultrasounds for rapid diagnosis of tumors, sports injuries and to guide biopsies. This allows for better placement of forthcoming imaging studies and provides for a rapid diagnostic assessment while lowering costs of procedures.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound allows for real-time, "dynamic" imaging of tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Unlike an MRI, ultrasound allows the surgeon to move the joint during the scan to see exactly where a tendon is snapping or a ligament is failing.
This is an evaluation of a femoral artery in a patient whose thigh tumor was resected with her own vessel and another one made from her own vein
The ultrasound allows us to do biopsies by guiding the needle into the tumor
In this patient the anterior cruciate ligament was found to be absent despite reasonably good knee function
Following ACL reconstruction the ultrasound is used to confirm structural integrity on follow-up
