Functional Outcome Of Distal Tibia Giant Cell Tumour

Abstract

This is a prospective study of the functional outcomes of Giant cell tumor of tibia. Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is an intermediate, locally aggressive but rarely metastasizing tumor. A total of 6 patients were studied and follwed up. Perioperative information and complication were recorded and assessment of functional outcome was made. The treatment of GCT particularly in distal tibia is directed towards local control without sacrificing joint function. This has traditionally been achieved by intralesional curettage and packing of cavity with bone graft or bone cement. We treated all our cases with extended curettage with chemical adjuvant as hydrogen peroxide. We packed the cavity with bone cement. All our cases are having excellent results with no recurrence.
