We present a case of knee reconstruction 20 years after treatment of a giant cell tumor (GCT) with curettage and cementation. There is currently an ongoing debate whether cement or allograft bone is the preferred material for filling the void after GCT curettage. In this case we were able to readily implant a primary total knee replacement without disturbing the existing well-interdigitated lar...

A unicameral bone cyst (UBC) may require surgery if its location increases the risk for pathologic fracture, or if it is painful or increasing in size. This case series demonstrates that curettage and grafting with a bone graft substitute alone can result in healing of the UBC. Three children with UBC and pathological fractures were treated with curettage and grafting using bone graft substitut...

At our institution giant cell tumors arising in all locations are treated with curettage, cryosurgery, and cementation to avoid resection or amputation, increase local tumor control over curettage alone, and avoid the morbidity associated with immobilization. We report the oncologic and functional results of 3 patients with giant cell tumors arising from the tubular bones of the hand who were t...
