Successful removal of giant cell tumor from the palm bones of a beneficiary at King Salman Medical City

A medical team specialized in bone and muscle tumor surgery at the main hospital in King Salman Medical City in Medina was able to end the suffering of a beneficiary in her twenties, who was suffering from a giant cell tumor that affected the metatarsus of her left hand, after implementing a precise treatment plan that contributed to saving one of her fingers from amputation.

King Salman Medical City explained that such cases often require amputation of the affected finger along with part of the comb of the hand, but the medical team has developed an advanced treatment plan aimed at preserving the organ, maintaining its function, and reducing the resulting effects on the beneficiary.

The Medical City stated that the medical team succeeded in completely removing the tumor and replacing the removed bone using a bone graft, after reshaping it to fit the anatomical measurements of the affected metatarsal, and then implanting it in the site of the removed bone. The operation was crowned with success – praise be to God – and the beneficiary recovered and left the hospital in good health.
This success confirms the development that King Salman Medical City in Medina is witnessing in specialized surgical services, through employing the latest medical technologies and qualified competencies, which contributes to providing advanced health care and raising the quality of therapeutic services provided to beneficiaries.
