Background: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive tumor that may affect the bones of the hand and rarely causes pulmonary metastasis. It exhibits a variable recurrence rate after surgical interventions, which presents challenges in its management. This systematic review aims to delineate recurrence rates and identify risk factors for GCTB in the hand.
