Another remarkable milestone in Orthopaedic Oncology. 🦴✨ Dato’ Sri Dr. Zulkharnain Ismail, Consultant Orthopaedic Oncology Surgeon, together with Consultant Anaesthesiologist Dr. Fadhilah Taib, successfully performed a highly complex full scapula (shoulder blade) removal and prosthesis reconstruction for a Cancer patient. This is one of the most challenging procedures in bone tumour surgery, demanding meticulous multidisciplinary planning and exceptional surgical skill.
This surgery involves removing the entire shoulder blade affected by Cancer, safeguarding the surrounding vital nerves and vessels, and rebuilding the shoulder using a custom prosthesis. The goal? To restore stability, reduce pain, and improve arm function, bringing a meaningful chance at returning to daily activities.
A proud moment for our team as we continue advancing safe, precise, and life-changing care for those fighting Bone Cancer.
