King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre has successfully performed a complex limb reconstruction on an eight-year-old child following the removal of a malignant bone tumor.

This procedure preserved the child's limb and restored normal walking ability, marking a significant advancement in pediatric orthopedic oncology in the Middle East.

The medical team employed advanced surgical techniques to ensure proper bone development and limb stability, considering the child's ongoing skeletal growth.

By integrating methods from sports medicine and ligament surgery, they maintained limb functionality, allowing for natural growth and mobility recovery without the need for prosthetics.

This achievement was made possible through collaboration among oncology, orthopedic, and rehabilitation specialists, utilizing cutting-edge 3D imaging and precise surgical planning.

The hospital plans to expand this technique in partnership with international medical centers, offering a new alternative to amputation in pediatric bone cancer treatment.
