BACKGROUND Various treatment strategies for low-grade chondrosarcomas with variable outcomes have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the oncological and functional outcomes associated with intralesional curettage followed by adjuvant therapy comprising high-speed burring, thermal cauterization, and bone cementation with polymethylmethacrylate. METHODS We perf...

Benign primary bone tumors are commonly treated with intralesional curettage with or without the use of surgical adjuvants. The reconstructive approach to the resulting contained bone defects is controversial, and clinical practice is varied. Synthetic bone substitutes may provide early mechanical support while minimizing the risks of disease transmission, nonunion, infection, and donor-site mo...

BACKGROUND Aggressive curettage has been well established for the treatment of giant cell tumors (GCTs) of the bone. The purpose of this study was to review our experience and evaluate the role of different implant materials in patients with GCTs of the extremities after aggressive curettage. METHODS A total of 119 patients with GCTs of the long bone were treated at the First Affiliated Hospi...

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...

Local control rates for Giant Cell Tumor of Bone (GCT) have been reported in a large number of retrospective series. However, there remains a lack of consensus with respect to the need for a surgical adjuvant when intralesional curettage is performed. We have systematically reviewed the literature and identified six studies in which two groups from the same patient cohort were treated with intr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Giant cell tumors (GCTs) of bone rarely affect the pelvis. We report on 20 cases that have been treated at our institution during the last 20 years. METHODS 20 patients with histologically benign GCT of the pelvis were included in this study. 9 tumors were primarily located in the iliosacral area, 6 in the acetabular area, and 5 in the ischiopubic area. 8 patients were ...

Abstract Background We examined the impact of bisphosphonates as adjuvant therapy on recurrence giant cell bone tumors and various tumor stages surgical techniques this effect. Following a thorough examination literature up to January 2022, 10 studies including 601 adults with were reported; 295 these subjects received following surgery, 306 served control group. To examine possibility lowering...

Purpose:
 
 Intralesional curettage with a local adjuvant is reliable surgical method in the treatment of low-grade chondrosarcomas (LGC). In order to maintain stability, some authors recommend osteosynthesis following intralesional treatment. However, larger materials may increase complications as well disturbing postoperative MRI evaluation. this study, we describe simple cortical w...

PURPOSE To review the outcome after intralesional curettage without bone grafting for simple bone cysts in the capitate. METHODS Records of 12 hands in 10 consecutive females aged 14 to 21 (mean, 17.5) years who underwent intralesional curettage without bone grafting for a simple bone cyst in the capitate were reviewed. Clinical outcome was evaluated using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulde...

Case. This case report describes the operative management of 16-year-old male with a symptomatic chondroblastoma of the distal femur with breach of the chondral surface. Following appropriate imaging and core needle biopsy, the diagnosis was confirmed histologically. The patient then underwent intralesional curettage and osteochondral allograft reconstruction of the defect. At one-year follow-u...
