Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrence is a common problem in GCT. A treatment modality without sacrificing the joint function and without compromising the tumour clearance is the necessity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Distal end radius GCTs treated by extended intralesional excision, filled by bone cement, morselized bone graft and Gelfoam, followed up for a period of 4 yrs. RESULTS 7 cases- 6M, 1F of distal end radius GCTs. No recurrence after 4 yrs. in all the cases. CONCLUSION Extended intralesional excision is an excellent treatment modality of GCT of the distal radius.
