Surgical Outcomes of Extended Curettage and Cementation for Giant Cell Tumors of the Proximal Tibia: A Retrospective Analysis

Surgical removal of the lesion remains the only curative intent treatment for GCT of the bone.The most common surgical treatment for GCT of the bone is aggressive local curettage, with or without packing the defect with bone cement or bone graft, and internal fixation.More aggressive surgical approaches employing wide resection of the involved bone may be chosen to achieve tumor removal and potentially decrease the risk of local recurrence, at the cost of greater functional compromise.
