Arthroscope assisted intralesional curettage of GCT
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Incomplete intralesional curettage remains the most important factor contributing to the recurrence of the GCT tumor. A 360 degree view of the tumor cavity can be achieved with the help of an arthroscope, which can aid complete intralesional curettage. CASE REPORT This technical note describes the use of arthroscope assisted curettage of the distal femur GCT. CONCLUSION Use of an arthroscope can improve the visibility for intralesional curettage 5 of Giant Cell tumor.

BACKGROUND Reports of recurrence following restructuring of primary giant cell tumor (GCT) defects using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cementation or allogeneic bone graft with and without adjuvants for intralesional curettage vary widely. Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate efficacy of PMMA bone cementation and allogeneic bone grafting following intralesiona...
متن کاملRecurrence Factors in Giant Cell Tumors of the Spine
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are benign, locally aggressive tumors. We examined the rate of local recurrence of spinal GCTs and sought to identify recurrence factors in patients who underwent surgery. METHODS Between 1995 and 2014, 94 mobile spine GCT patients were treated at our hospital, comprising 43 male and 51 female patients with an average age of 33.4 years. Piecemeal intralesio...
