Biological Reconstruction of Knee Joint by Pedicled Patellar Transplant in a Recurrent Giant-cell Tumor of Lateral Femoral Condyle: A Case Report

摘要

Introduction:Giant-cell tumors (GCTs) are benign tumors of musculoskeletal system, commonly occur around knee. High-grade GCTs have a high tendency to recur after intralesional curettage. Reconstruction of joint after excision of such aggressive juxta-articular GCT has been challenging task. We describe a case of recurrence in GCT of lateral femoral condyle managed with tumor excision and pedicled patellar transplant to reconstruct the joint.
