Despite early promising results with denosumab treatment in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), recent studies have raised concerns about a high local recurrence rate following preoperative denosumab administration and joint preservation surgery. This retrospective study evaluated data from 25 high-risk GCT patients (Campanacci grade II or III with features like soft tissue extension, pathological fracture, minimal periarticular or subarticular bone) treated with five doses of neoadjuvant denosumab injection followed by either curettage and cementing ( = 13) or joint reconstruction with fibular graft/endoprosthesis ( = 12) between 2014 and 2019.
