Description
The conference, hosted in Aberdeen, marks the return of face-to-face interaction after a lengthy hiatus, specifically through a trauma revalidation session. Led by Louise McCullough, one of the orthopedic oncology consultants from Aberdeen, and Rob Ashford from Leicester, this interactive session is intended to involve participants through questions and case discussions regarding trauma. Attendees are reminded of the ongoing health measures, including mask-wearing, social distancing, and hand hygiene, ensuring a safe environment. Key topics of the session include understanding various forms of sarcomas, their statistics, and the significance of thorough diagnostic processes before proceeding with treatment to avoid mismanagement. Discussions extend to various case studies demonstrating the complexities and challenges faced when diagnosing and treating osseous malignancies, including the necessity for biopsies and multi-disciplinary approaches. The session emphasizes the importance of patient history and imaging in making informed decisions, promoting collaboration between trauma teams and surgical oncologists to deliver the best care.
