Dear Residents,
My most recent educational lecture on soft tissue sarcomas is up for viewing. This lecture describes the clinical, radiographical, and pathological features of soft tissue sarcomas such as Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma, Liposarcoma, Synovial Sarcoma, Rhabdomyosarcoma, and Leiomyosarcoma. Enjoy!
My name is James C. Wittig, MD and I am an Orthopedic Oncologist and Sarcoma Surgeon who specializes in Limb Sparing Surgery for pediatric and adult bone and soft tissue sarcomas. I also also perform surgery for benign bone and soft tissue tumors, pathological fractures, and metastatic cancers. I regularly teach orthopedic surgery residents about the radiological and pathological diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal tumors. In 2007, I won Teacher of the Year award for outstanding leadership, guidance and selfless dedication to the Residents of the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases Department of Orthopedic Surgery. I recently have been named one of the top 13 Orthopedic Oncologists in the United States. I was also featured in Castle Connolly and New York Magazine as one of the Best Orthopedic Oncologists in the New York area and United States.
I have created an online orthopedic oncology and pathology course in order to help orthopedic residents review and succeed on their board examinations. The course details the clinical, radiographic, and pathological correlation of musculoskeletal tumors.
Thank You!
