Musculoskeletal Tumor Program
Innovation paired with specialized expertise
Musculoskeletal tumors are rare and require specialized care. People with this unusual type of cancer deserve the expertise and reassurance that comes from a program dedicated solely to meeting their needs.
The innovative Musculoskeletal Tumor Program headquartered at Inova Fairfax Hospital is led by Dr. Felasfa Wodajo, a fellowship-trained orthopedic oncologist. Dr. Wodajo has extensive experience in limb-sparing surgery for bone and soft tissue tumors, including shoulder and pelvis tumors and endoprosthetic replacement of bones and joints.
