Clinical outcomes of extended intralesional curettage with cementation without implant augmentation in non-fracture giant cell tumor of bone around the knee

Abstract There remains a lack of consensus regarding the necessity of implant augmentation or fixation after intralesional curettage in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) around the knee. This study assessed whether cementation alone is effective and safe in GCTB with a non-fracture around the knee. We...

Description
Summary:Abstract There remains a lack of consensus regarding the necessity of implant augmentation or fixation after intralesional curettage in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) around the knee. This study assessed whether cementation alone is effective and safe in GCTB with a non-fracture around the knee. We retrospectively examined clinical data from 14 GCTB patients treated from 2012 to 2022. Outcome parameters were Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, postoperative fracture, metastases, recurrence and complications. Of the 14 GCTB cases examined, 10 were at the distal femur and four were at the proximal tibia. Mean patient age was 32 years, and follow-up time was 61 months. Mean tumor size was 61 × 79 × 50 mm, and MSTS score was 89.2%. There were no cases of postoperative fracture. Defect reconstruction with cementation alone may be strong enough to provide immediate stability and prevent postoperative fracture in GCTB around the knee.
