GCT Bone Treatment in India

Vivaan Brown, a 28-year-old construction foreman, had always been physically active. For the past six months, he'd been battling a persistent, deep ache in his right thigh that worsened with weight-bearing. Initially dismissing it as a muscle strain, the pain became constant and severe, disrupting his sleep and ability to work. An X-ray revealed a concerning, expanding lytic lesion in his femur. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended a GCT Bone (Giant Cell Tumor) biopsy and curettage procedure to confirm the diagnosis, remove the tumor, and stabilize the bone. Vivaan was terrified; he feared for his livelihood and the possibility of cancer. The surgery was successful, using a high-speed burr to meticulously remove the tumor followed by bone grafting and internal fixation. The pathology confirmed a benign but aggressive GCT. Recovery involved six weeks on crutches and months of physical therapy. The emotional journey was intense, pre-op fear of the unknown and potential amputation gave way to immense relief post-diagnosis, followed by the frustrating but hopeful grind of rehabilitation. A year later, Vivaan is back supervising light duties, with regular scans showing no recurrence, his gratitude for a preserved limb coloring each day.
