Dr. Bibhudutta Malla

A 45-year-old software engineer developed persistent shoulder pain initially misdiagnosed as rotator cuff injury. Dr. Malla identified chondrosarcoma on advanced imaging. The patient's corporate insurance denied coverage for the complex procedure, but Dr. Malla negotiated with hospital administration for a payment plan. Following wide excision and reconstruction, the patient returned to work in 4 months with modified duties. (Patient of Dr. Malla)

An 80-year-old retired schoolteacher with multiple comorbidities presented with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the humerus. Dr. Malla coordinated with cardiology and nephrology teams to optimize her for surgery. He performed prophylactic intramedullary nailing, preventing pathological fracture. Her recovery was complicated by delayed wound healing, but she maintained arm function throughout her palliative care journey. (Patient of Dr. Malla)

A 23-year-old aspiring dancer from Kolkata was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the tibia. Devastated by the prospect of amputation, she sought multiple opinions until meeting Dr. Malla. He performed rotationplasty, preserving knee function and allowing prosthetic fitting. After extensive rehabilitation, she adapted her dance style and now performs with a specialized dance troupe.

A 35-year-old construction worker fell from scaffolding, revealing an unsuspected benign giant cell tumor in his pelvis. Dr. Malla performed complex curettage and cementation with adjuvant therapy. The patient's employer initially refused compensation, but Dr. Malla provided detailed documentation supporting work-related discovery. The patient returned to light duty in 6 months.

A 12-year-old tribal girl from rural Odisha presented with a rapidly enlarging mass in her right femur. Her family, subsistence farmers, had tried traditional herbal treatments for months before seeking medical help. Dr. Malla diagnosed Ewing's sarcoma and organized crowdfunding for her treatment. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy and limb-salvage surgery with a custom megaprosthesis, she returned to school 8 months later with near-normal function.
