Treatment Approach & Philosophy
Patient-Centred Care
Dr. Pruthi believes that every patient deserves to maintain their quality of life. His primary philosophy is "Limb Salvage over Amputation" whenever oncologically safe. He spends significant time counselling patients and families to help them understand the disease and the rehabilitation process required for a successful outcome.
Technology & Innovation
He integrates cutting-edge technology such as computer navigation and 3D-printed custom jigs for precise tumour removal. Dr. Pruthi is also an advocate for biological reconstruction methods, such as Extra-corporeal Irradiation (ECI), which allows the patient's own bone to be treated and re-implanted, offering a cost-effective and durable solution.
