Morristown, New Jersey, August 13, 2025 – Mandala Medical Group is excited to announce a remarkable milestone in pediatric orthopedic oncology. Dr. James C. Wittig and his team have successfully performed a pioneering limb-sparing surgery on a 10-month-old patient diagnosed with an extensive Ewing sarcoma involving her entire radius. This is the first documented case of such a procedure in a patient of this age and tumor location combination.
Breakthrough Case Overview
- Patient Profile & Diagnosis: A 10 month old girl presented with a rare and aggressive Ewing sarcoma involving the complete radius bone.
- Treatment Path: After undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patient achieved a near-complete radiologic and pathological response—enabling a function-saving surgical plan.
- Innovative Surgical Technique: Dr. Wittig performed a radical resection of the radius, followed by centralization of the carpus directly onto the ulna, creating a stable and functional upper extremity with preserved hand function and natural appearance.
- Outcomes: Three years post-surgery, the patient shows no signs of recurrence. The limb remains stable and cosmetically appealing, with excellent functionality—highlighting the procedure’s long-term success and impact.
