Scapula tumor

Scapula tumors are rarely heard of, but often encountered. This is a primary bone tumor, which also includes metastatic ones. CT examination is only a preliminary diagnosis of the condition, and a series of examinations are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Generally, patients are treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. Surgical treatment is also relatively good, but it depends on the condition of each patient, and it must also be coordinated with the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.

How to treat scapula tumors

It is necessary to clarify whether the scapula bone tumor is a primary bone tumor or a metastatic bone tumor. CT is only a preliminary judgment. If necessary, a biopsy can be performed to clarify the pathology. After the pathological diagnosis is confirmed, if there is no opportunity for surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, best supportive care, etc. can be considered.

The most effective treatment for malignant tumors of the scapula is surgery. After surgery, comprehensive treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biological therapy can be selected based on the results of pathological examination and immunohistochemistry. It is best to use effective traditional Chinese medicine conservative treatment. Many patients can survive for a long time after their improvement. The long-term clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated many very effective treatment methods, which are effective, cost-effective and convenient to use.

Scapula tumor resection surgery steps

Scapula tumor resection surgery: 1. The skin incision starts from the acromion and extends inward to the scapular spine to the scapula spine edge, and then turns to the inner and lower corner of the scapula.

Second, expose the muscles attached to the back of the scapula, cut off the acromioclavicular joint ligament at the upper outer corner, cut off the deltoid muscle, and then cut off the trapezius muscle above, the levator scapulae muscle and the prismatic muscle attached to the lower angle.

3. Free the deltoid muscle from the peak to the outer end of the clavicle, and cut off the long head of the biceps and the pectoralis minor.

Fourth, make a horseshoe-shaped arc incision from the shoulder to expose the inner edge of the greater tuberosity of the humerus, cut off the subscapular tendon end, the long head, tendon and sub-end of the biceps, and then cut off the supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles at the insertion point on the scapula, continue to cut off the coracohumeral ligament and most of the joint capsule, and finally cut off all the soft tissues attached to the scapula. The entire scapula and tumor are removed freely.
