A Review of Core Biopsies in Musculoskeletal Oncology.

Biopsy as a procedure is technically simple but conceptually a challenge. The principles of biopsy have remained more or less the same for 3 decades. With the advent of imaging, hospital facilities, and pathology modalities, we feel it is important that these principles are revisited.

Functional Augmentation with the Use of a Mesh in a Traditional Cement Spacer Reconstruction in Proximal Humerus Resections.

Cement spacer as a reconstruction technique in proximal humerus resections in malignant and benign conditions is well established. Functional outcome of any reconstruction is decided by how well soft tissue reconstruction has been carried out. The cement spacer technique allows soft tissue reattachment at any site required as compared to prosthetic reconstruction, but such reattachment sites have to be decided before setting of the cement.

Recurrence of GCTB of Wrist in an Autografted Non-vascularized Fibula: A Case Report.

Introduction: Distal radius is known to have high percentage of recurrences in giant cell tumor (GCT) despite best efforts. We would like to present a case where the recurrence unusually occurred in the graft and the complications associated with it.

Case Report: A 45-year-old woman, who had previously undergone curettage of GCT distal radius, presented with recurrence of lesion which was managed initially with resection and non-vascularized fibular autograft reconstruction.
