The following is the final paragraph in an Orthopedic Consult Note from Dr. Phyllis Sanchez, MD, FAAOS: I discussed the next steps with Mr. Samuels and his family, including staging the tumor and scheduling a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. I discussed the surgery with Mr. Samuels and his family in the office. His tumor will likely require tumor resection with partial ostectomy of the femur with osteoplasty. I discussed the benefits of a metal endoprosthesis versus an allograft for the osteoplasty. Mr. Samuels is scheduled to return to my office 1 week following his biopsy to discuss the results.
Given this information, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A) As part of his treatment plan, part of Mr. Samuel's femur will be removed and then reconstructed.
B) Dr. Sanchez prefers a metal device to replace some of the missing bone as opposed to taking some bone from another place on Mr. Samuel's body for the bone reconstruction.
C) Mr. Samuels has a bone disease that requires surgery.
D) Mr. Samuels has a tumor that will require surgery.
