Orthopedic Surgical Oncology for Bone Tumors: a Case Study Atlas by Harzem Özger; Franklin H. Sim; Ajay Puri; 2021 This atlas presents a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases.

Each section focuses on a specific anatomical region, and each case presentation includes the basic clinical history, basic principles, preoperative, perioperative and radiographic images, a pitfall list, treatment strategy, technical pearls, outcomes and complications. For each region the authors discuss both the biological and non-biological reconstruction techniques. The book is designed to actively involve the reader, making it an invaluable tool for all orthopedic surgeons confronted with oncologic surgery.
