The Montgomery Unit at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital is one of five specialist bone cancer centres in the UK. We are approved and directly funded by NHS England for the treatment of primary bone sarcomas.
We also diagnose and treat patients with soft tissue sarcomas, bone metastases, benign bone and soft tissue tumours and tumour-like conditions.
The unit can be found on the ground floor of the hospital (at Location 12) in the £15.1 million Theatre and Ward Development, which opened in August 2015.

- We may arrange for imaging of the problem to help with diagnosis. This could include:
