Diagnostic work up and recognition of primary bone tumours: a review

[摘要] Primary bone tumours are rare, with an incidence in the United Kingdom of around six cases per million of the population. The general orthopaedic surgeon may only encounter one or two in their life’s practice. It is therefore necessary to maintain a high index of suspicion for tumours in order to not miss the diagnosis when it arises.
