Nicola Fabbri MD

Dr. Nicola Fabbri is a surgeon with 20 years of experience in caring for children, teenagers, and adults with musculoskeletal cancers. This includes diagnosis and surgery for osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, soft tissue sarcomas, giant-cell tumor, chordoma, adamantinoma, osteofibrous dysplasia, angiosarcoma, and other vascular tumors of the extremities, pelvis, and sacrum. He also has expertise in treating metastatic bone cancer in the same parts of the body. His goal is to provide an individualized approach to each person he cares for. He bases his care on the diagnosis, location, and extent of a tumor, as well as a person’s age, activity level, and expectations.

He has expertise in a variety of surgical strategies and complex limb-salvage techniques. These include biologic, prosthetic, and hybrid reconstructions, as well as custom-designed implants and the use of 3-D technology. These techniques are aimed at helping people with cancer return to a level of functioning that is normal for them. He also has a strong interest in nononcologic skeletal and joint reconstruction. He especially focused on reconstructions associated with massive bone loss and deformities. In particular, he helps children and young adults with avascular necrosis due to the treatment of blood cancers.
