About Hip Cancer

Hip cancer in children, while rare, is a serious condition requiring specialized care from pediatric orthopedic surgeons. This typically refers to primary bone cancers like osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma originating in or near the hip joint. Treatment is a multidisciplinary effort, often involving a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and sometimes radiation. The primary surgical goal is complete tumor removal (resection) while preserving as much limb function as possible. Advanced techniques, including limb-salvage surgery with custom prostheses or bone grafts, are commonly used to reconstruct the hip and femur, aiming to restore mobility and quality of life for the young patient.

Key Highlights

Multidisciplinary approach combining pediatric oncology, orthopedics, and rehabilitation.Focus on limb-salvage (limb-sparing) surgery to preserve the child's leg whenever possible.Utilization of advanced reconstructive techniques with expandable or custom prostheses for growing children.Aims to achieve complete local tumor control while maximizing future function and mobility.Specialized care tailored to the unique anatomy and growth potential of children and adolescents.

Who is this surgery for?

Confirmed diagnosis of a primary malignant bone tumor in the proximal femur (thigh bone) or pelvic bones (acetabulum, ilium).
Persistent, worsening hip or thigh pain, especially pain that wakes the child at night.
Presence of a palpable mass or swelling in the hip or upper thigh region.
Pathologic fracture (a break through a bone weakened by tumor).
Imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT) findings highly suggestive of a malignant bone lesion.
After neoadjuvant (pre-operative) chemotherapy to shrink the tumor for better surgical margins.

How to prepare

Comprehensive staging workup including biopsy, MRI, CT scan, and bone scan to determine the tumor's extent.
Pre-operative chemotherapy cycles to reduce tumor size and treat microscopic spread.
Detailed surgical planning using 3D imaging and models for precise resection and reconstruction.
Pre-operative counseling with the child and family about the procedure, outcomes, and rehabilitation journey.
Nutritional optimization and pre-habilitation (physical therapy) to strengthen the child before surgery.
Blood tests and cardiac evaluation to ensure fitness for major surgery and anesthesia.

Risks & possible complications

Surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), and nerve or blood vessel injury.
Reconstruction-specific risks: Prosthesis loosening, dislocation, fracture, or mechanical failure.
Oncological risks: Local tumor recurrence or distant metastasis (spread).
Functional risks: Limb length discrepancy, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, or a persistent limp.
Long-term risks: Potential impact on bone growth in younger children, requiring future revision surgeries.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management, wound care, and monitoring for complications.
Early mobilization with support from physical and occupational therapists.
Use of assistive devices (walker, crutches) for a period of weeks to months, with gradual weight-bearing as guided.
Continued post-operative chemotherapy as per the oncological protocol.
Intensive, long-term physical rehabilitation to restore strength, range of motion, and gait.
Regular follow-up visits for imaging (X-rays, scans) to monitor for recurrence and prosthesis integrity.
Psychosocial support for the child and family to cope with the recovery process.

Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Sneha Das is a bright and...

Sneha Das is a bright and artistic 10-year-old from Kolkata, India, who loves classical dance. For months, she complained of a dull, persistent ache in her right hip and thigh, which her family initially attributed to her rigorous dance practice. When a noticeable limp developed and the pain began waking her at night, her parents sought help. An X-ray and subsequent MRI at a pediatric hospital revealed a Ewing sarcoma tumor in her proximal femur. Her pediatric orthopedic oncologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that limb-salvage surgery was possible but complex, involving removing the cancerous section of bone and replacing it with a specially designed metallic implant (a growing prosthesis). Sneha was terrified of losing her ability to dance. The surgery was long, but successful. Her recovery in the hospital was challenging, filled with pain management and the daunting start of physical therapy. A year later, after completing chemotherapy and relentless rehab, Sneha walks without a limp. While she can't return to competitive dance, she now teaches younger children simple movements from her wheelchair, finding immense joy in sharing her passion. Her journey moved from fear and loss to resilience and a redefined sense of purpose.
