What type of surgical intervention is typically used for benign bone tumors?

Intralesional excision is typically chosen for benign bone tumors because this technique involves removing the tumor while preserving as much surrounding healthy bone as possible. This approach minimizes damage to the surrounding structures and supports quicker recovery for the patient.

In cases of benign tumors, the main goal is to eliminate the tumor while ensuring that the patient's function is preserved. Intralesional excision allows for thorough removal of the tumor with a lower risk of significant morbidity compared to more invasive options. This method also often involves curettage, which means scraping out the tumor, potentially followed by the use of adjunctive treatments such as filling the cavity with bone graft material to promote healing and support.

Other surgical interventions, while appropriate for different types of tumors, may not be as suitable for benign tumors due to their aggressive nature or extensive removal of surrounding tissue which is often unnecessary in benign cases.
