Backgrounds: We aimed to compare the average 10-year results of patients treated with three different surgical methods, that is, extended curettage, extended curettage with grafting and extended curettage with cementation for the management of solitary enchondromas.

Methods: Two hundreds and three patients with a solitary enchondroma who underwent surgery at our department between 1990 and 2015 were evaluated retrospectively. Only extended curettage was performed in Group A (n: 75), extended curettage with grafting with autologous bone graft from the iliac crest in Group B (n: 58), and extended curettage with bone cement in Group C (n: 70). Surgical complications and recurrence were analysed and compared between these groups.

Results: No significant differences were noted among the groups in terms of gender (P = 0.654), age (P = 0.264) and follow-up duration (P = 0.919). The mean follow-up period in all groups was 122.9 ± 39 (range: 60-271) months. In addition to curettage and cementation, three patients received mechanical support with plate screws because of fracture risk. One patient in the extended curettage with grafting group had surgical site infection that was treated with simple debridement and antibiotherapy. One patient in the extended curettage group had lost motions of the proximal interphalangeal joint, which was treated with aggressive physiotherapy.

Conclusion: We compared the average 10-year results of patients treated with three surgical options, namely, extended curettage, extended curettage with grafting, and extended curettage with cementation and no difference was found among the groups in local control of solitary enchondromas.

Purpose: To investigate the local recurrence rate, joint preservation status, and functional outcomes after extended curettage and postoperative denosumab treatment for Campanacci Grade III giant cell tumors of the extremities.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with Campanacci Grade III GCTB of the extremities in our hospital between January 2017 and June 2023 who underwent extended curettage and postoperative denosumab administration alone, without preoperative denosumab treatment. Patients were followed-up for adverse events of denosumab, surgical outcomes, limb function of lesions, and local recurrence following extended curettage with postoperative denosumab.

Introduction: Recurrence after Giant Cell Tumour (GCT) treatment depends on the type of treatment used. Poly-Methyl-Meth-Acrylate (PMMA) after extended curettage provides structural support and allows for early identification of recurrence but carries a risk of thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. The aim of this study was to compare long-term functional outcomes and complications in patients with GCT around the knee treated with extended curettage and bone grafting or cementation.

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a common locally aggressive junctional primary bone tumor, whose clinical treatment becomes more difficult once combined with pathological fracture. Extended curettage and en-bloc resection are common surgical procedures for treating GCTB, and drugs such as receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(RANKL) inhibitors and bisphosphonates have been successfully used. Curettage is recommended for patients with Campanaccigrade Ⅱor Campanaccigrade Ⅲ with localized soft tissue invasion only and simple fractures with intact bone structure.

Rationale: We first report a unique case of proximal femoral Giant cell tumor of bone, a subtrochanteric lesion associated with femoral neck and intertrochanteric involvement. We chose a completely new surgical approach to treat the primary tumor and preserve the hip joint. No cases of this type have ever been reported.

Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, locally destructive, blood-filled reactive lesions of the bone most commonly presenting as pain or mass effect. Most are frequently located in the proximal humerus, distal femur, proximal tibia, spine, uncommonly the sacrum, and rarely the sacroiliac (SI) joint. We present a rare case of ABC in the SI joint and its recurrence treated with percutaneous intralesional doxycycline ablation and the corresponding outcome.
