title: Intraoperative navigation for minimally invasive resection of periarticular and pelvic tumors.
abstract: The surgical approach to benign, metastatic, and some low-grade malignant tumors is often difficult due to their typically precarious locations. This article presents a series of cases where intraoperative stealth navigation was used to treat periarticular tumors. The use of paired point imaging with image fusion has made approaching tumors through an accurate and minimally invasive technique a viable option for the treatment of a subset of musculoskeletal tumors.
