Street Tales Podcast! Extremely appreciative of podcast hosts and law enforcement professionals Tyler Martin and Adam Macaluso for inviting me. Adam has also served in the capacity of being one of our country’s outstanding Marines! I had the honor and privilege of taking care of Adams daughter Lucy in her battle with Ewing sarcoma. Unfortunately Lucy lost her battle. I always emphasize that there is no greater compliment in the world than for a parent to pick me and my team to perform surgery on their child and help save their child’s life and save their baby’s leg or arm. When one of the kids I was treating returns to God I likewise feel the grief and feel as though I lost a tiny piece of my heart.

The most crucial steps for limb saving surgeries for sarcomas!

Amputation? What are the indications for an amputation as opposed to performing a limb saving surgery? Most (almost all) patients can undergo limb saving surgery. It’s only the most advanced cases and patients who have inappropriately performed biopsies who are most likely to require an amputation.

Osteosarcomas grow like a ball! They squash surrounding muscle and create a pseudo capsule! The pseudo capsule contains tumor cells. You need ti remove the pseudocapsule to get the entire tumor out. #osteosarcoma #orthopediconcologist #sarcoma #limbsalvage #childhoodcancer

Kind words and testimonials from patients and patients’ parents! I am incredibly blessed and honored to have so many patients trust me with their care. It is the biggest compliment In the world and I am forever grateful. I’ve been practicing orthopedic oncology and sarcoma surgery for over 25 years and have performed surgery on close to 10,000 children and adults with musculoskeletal tumors. The real blessing comes when I am able to use all my skills and knowledge to perform complex limb saving surgery for children and adults with bone sarcomas and soft tissue sarcomas. #orthopediconcology #wittigorthopediconcologist #sarcoma #osteosarcoma #sarcomasurgeon #topirrhopediconcologist #drwittig #orthopedics #jointreplacement #savelives #savelimbs #limbsalvage #medicine #oncology #childhoodcancer

Thank you for allowing me and my team to take care of your baby. It is the biggest compliment in the world. 10 month old who underwent a “One of a Kind” limb saving surgery for a Ewing Sarcoma of her radius in forearm. The entire radius was removed and the carpus and hand centralized over the ulna to create a one bone forearm. It’s now three years, disease free and great hand dexterity and function. #orthopediconcology #sarcoma #limbsaving #savelimbs #savelives #wittigorthopediconcology #ewingsarcoma #curesarcoma #ewingsarcoma
