*Aligarh** April 13: *Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Aligarh Muslim
University and Aligarh Orthopaedic Club is organizing a symposium on "Limb
Salvage in Malignant Bone Tumors" on April 26, 2009 in the Department of
Orthopaedic Surgery Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim
University. Prof. M. K A. Sherwani is the Organizing Chairman and Dr. Abdul
Qaiyyum Khan is he Organizing Secretary of the Seminar. Eminent speakers
from various centres of academic excellence in country will share their
experiences in the field of orthopaedic oncology. The one day symposium will
be contributing a vast knowledge to the field of bone tumours.

Dr. Abdul Qaiyyum Khan said that bone tumour was earlier considered to be
incurable and the amputation was the only treatment modality for it. He said
that bone tumours will be discussed at the symposium in the light of latest
developments (imaging and chemotherapy/radiotherapy) with special emphasis
on limb salvage. He said that the symposium will enlighten all the attending
delegates, especially the young orthopaedic surgeons.

Dr. Khan said that limb salvage is developing as a specialty in orthopaedic
surgery. Many patients who once have had an amputation are now having their
limb saved. The speed at which it is growing requires everyone to keep pace
with it, hence the need for such symposium where varied aspects of limb
salvage will be discussed by the eminent faculty. Dr. Abdul Qaiyyum Khan
said that the deliberations will help in addressing the treatment of
musculoskeletal tumours and improve the understanding of the subject
providing new insight into the current concepts of the orthopaedic oncology.
