Cementless Endoprosthesis in the Treatment of Giant Cell Tumor of the Tibia: Eighteen Years of Evolution

Abstract: This is a case report on a giant cell tumor of the juxta-articular proximal tibia with a pathological fracture. A female patient presented pain and increased local volume after falling from her own height. She underwent clinical examination, radiographic examination and puncture biopsy. A diagnosis of giant cell tumor was made. The patient was then treated with tumor resection and use of an unconventional partial endoprosthesis of the tibia with preservation of the joint surface of the tibial plateau. The pati… Show more

“…GCTB mainly occurs in skeletally mature patients, with a peak incidence between ages 20 and 45 years and slight predominance among females. [1][2][3] GCTB commonly arises at the epiphyses of long bones, like the distal femur, proximal tibia, distal radius and proximal humerus. 4 In addition, it is often found close to joints, and therefore causes movement limitation, joint effusion and synovitis.…”
