Does chondroma need to do an operation

summary

Bo Niang is a hard-working person. She has suffered a lot since she was a child. She often rains heavily and has to work in the fields. I suffered from chondroma last year, and my condition was much better after the operation. When I visited my aunt some time ago, I also learned about the whole treatment process of my aunt. Let's share it with you.

Does chondroma need to do an operation

First, we should treat this kind of tumor differently. As your child shows, this kind of tumor often appears near the joint, often exists for a long time, without any symptoms. Generally asymptomatic osteochondroma does not need surgical resection. Some masses are accompanied with pain, which is often caused by repeated injury to the protuberance of the mass and the compression of local muscles, blood vessels and nerve bundles.

Second, some adolescent patients are afraid of tumors and think that surgical removal of tumors will be OK. From the current knowledge, this fear is not too necessary. Whether surgical resection is needed or not, we need to go to the hospital regularly to see a doctor for review, and judge and decide according to the specific situation. Although the diagnosis of this tumor is not difficult, in addition to clinical examination, it can be diagnosed by X-ray, but it also needs to be differentiated from the common skeletal variation or other abnormalities in children's growth and development.

Third: in theory, surgical resection is only suitable for tumors that cause pain, squeeze blood vessels and nerves, or affect joint activity. But there are still two problems that need our attention: one is that the operation may damage the growth plate and affect the growth and development of the limbs; the other is that the tumor is easy to relapse after resection.

matters needing attention

Osteochondromas growing in the scapula, pelvis and proximal femur, especially the recurrent osteochondromas after resection, are more prone to malignant transformation. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to the complete resection of the tumor and preventing recurrence, the age of surgical resection of osteochondroma should be delayed as far as possible to reduce the risk of growth plate injury.
