Introduction: Knee arthroscopy is one of the treatments for knee pain. In recent years, the use of knee arthroscopy in the treatment of osteoarthritis was challenged by several randomized-controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. However, some design flaws are making the clinical decision harder.

We present a case report of a triple location Giant Cell Tumor of tendon sheath appearance on the same flexor tendon sheath of a single digit. There have been scarce descriptions of multiple Giant Cell Tumors of tendon sheath. Multiple tumors may predispose patients to a higher recurrence rate; therefore, recognition and treatment of this rare entity is important.

Background: There are numerous clinical scenarios during which the surgeon contemplates whether the radial or ulnar slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) should be sacrificed.

Methods: A total of 41 digits were assessed, each digit was dissected, and a specimen containing the denuded bone of the middle phalanx with the attachments of the ulnar and radial FDS slips was obtained.
