| Popis: | Between 1971 and 1991 we treated 98 patients with giant-cell tumours, 15 of whom presented with a pathological fracture. They were most common around the knee (12). Nine fractures were intra-articular. The tumours were treated by curettage and acrylic cementing (10), excision and endoprosthesis (1), excision and allograft (1), curettage and autologous graft (2) or by resection of the fibular head (1). Four patients had local recurrence, three of whom were cured by repeat curettage and cementing. Pathological fracture through a giant-cell tumour is not a contraindication to treatment by curettage and acrylic cementing. |
