About

Dr Leon Foo’s special interest lies in Orthopaedic Oncology. He is one of a handful of fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Oncologists in Singapore. As the surgical member in the multi-disciplinary oncology team looking after tumour patients, Dr Foo’s contribution lies with his expertise and experience in tumour tissue removal, as well as the subsequent reconstructive surgery. This includes limb preserving surgery for both bone tumours and soft tissue sarcomas, as well as reconstruction using autografts, allografts and/or mega-prosthetic implants. His guiding philosophy with bone and soft tissue tumour treatment is not only of curative tumour removal but also of appropriate functional reconstructive procedures that allow patients to return to as full and as active a function as possible post-operatively.

Orthopaedic Oncology aside, Dr Foo is also fellowship-trained in joint surgeries. His clinical expertise is often called upon in the treatment of hip, knee and shoulder problems arising from a variety of causes, be it degenerative (age-related), inflammatory, trauma or sports-related injuries. His surgical repertoire includes the latest technologies in cartilage resurfacing and regeneration, as well as joint replacement, including minimally invasive, arthroscopic, computer navigation, robotic and customized implants.
