Can Surgeons Reuse Cancerous Bone? 🤔

Can surgeons re-use someone’s eye? I have an infection and need a new one

Why didn't they do this to me. The MF left me with a chunk less bone in my arm.

This is mostly done in Asia by the way, around here tumor surgeons use a prosthesis.

What could we have done without science

So why don’t they put people with cancer in a freezer?

Surgeons have pioneered “Tumor-Return Therapy,” where they remove a cancerous bone, send it to a “Bone Spa” to be fermented in kombucha, carved into an artsy sculpture, and then re-implanted upside down as a quirky titanium-reinforced upgrade.

@grok is this process being used?

Damn, surgeons out here playing mad scientist with liquid nitrogen like it's a kitchen gadget. "Cancer? Freeze it, slap it back in, good as new!" Next up: recycling my appendix for flavor.

@tonybflako 3p

It would kill all thr cells though, not just the cancerous ones though, right? Can the body just grow new marrow and blood vessels after this?

FOR THOSE WONDERING: Reusing cancerous bone, known as a recycled autograft, is a limb-salvage surgical procedure where a tumor-affected bone is safely removed, sterilized to eliminate all malignant cells, and reimplanted into the patient. This approach acts as a natural biological scaffold, promoting bone regeneration while avoiding the need for metal prosthetics.

I don’t know about this.🧐

I think if the gap is small the bone can regrow to fill the gap.

that sounds like a nightmare

Dose the Bone stays alive or dead

W medicine

骨头还能回收？这科学疯了吧。

That's TOTALLY not barbaric in any way. 🤣

Better to avoid it all together
