The Denver Clinic for Extremities is recognized for its national expertise in the management of pediatric and adult extremity tumors. Our multidisciplinary team provides expert evaluation and treatment for patients with bone or soft tissue tumors. We provide phone consultation for physicians managing patients with suspicious lesions and assisting with management decisions.
Best Reported Long-Term Survival Outcomes for Pediatric and Adult Osteogenic Sarcoma
Extremities at Risk physicians collaborated to develop our intra-arterial chemotherapy protocol for treatment of osteosarcoma in adults and children. We have shown this protocol is superior to other published protocols in long-term survival and extremity sparing surgical procedures.
Innovative Surgical Options
Our approach to patient care focuses on "life over limb," but with successful management of tumors using the appropriate chemotherapy protocols, we are able to offer many limb-sparing surgical options. Some of these innovative techniques have been pioneered by physicians on our team.
- Allograft Procedures
- Soft Tissue Reconstruction Options
- Innovative Amputation Techniques
- Repiphysis Growing Prosthesis for Children
- Foam Metal Technologies
- Bone and Joint Transplant
- Custom Implant Design
Management of Bone Metastatic Disease
In addition to primary bone and soft tissue tumors, our physicians specialize in the management of patients with metastatic tumors to the bone. We can work with the referring oncologist to best approach pathologic fracture processes and plan surgical intervention.
