Abstract

Giant cell tumor of the bone (GCT) is a relatively uncommon benign aggressive tumor that occurs near the articular surface of major joints. Standard treatment of GCT is comprised of local resection followed by local adjuvant therapy. Unicondylar osteoarticular resection is usually followed by a reconstructive procedure to restore the biomechanical demands of the joint. The present report describes a patient with satisfactory knee stability and functional outcome 32. years following medial femoral condyle resection with no reconstructive arthroplasty.
