Aim

To analyse our results after en-block resection of aggressive GCT during 20 years period.

Methods

We review 86 patients with skeletal GCT during the last 20 years, from 1990 until 2009, retrospectively. In the cases of latent and active type, extended curettage and bone graft or cement were our treatment of choice, while in aggressive ones we performed en block resection and reconstruction by fibular autograft (e.g. in distal part of radius) or fusion/hinge joint prosthesis (e.g. in GCT around the knee joint). We describe the recurrences, metastases and complications according to treatment.

Background

Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental anomaly of bone formation that may exist in a monostotic or polystotic form. Surgical treatment is considered advisable only with presence of significant or progressive deformity or persistent pain. Early surgery is indicated before the tumor expands or fracture occurs.

Methods

We reviewed a series of 21 patients, 14 had monostotic whereas 7 had polystotic fibrous dysplasia. There was no case of Mc Cune Albright. We treated all of these patients with curettage and corticocancellous bone graft and also fixation with reconstruction nails. Follow up ranged between 1 and 5 years. Functional and radiographic outcomes were scored.

Background

Femoral neck nonunion is a challenging problem. If it is not treated properly, it will be ended with a catastrophe because the victims are younger and active patients and missing hip joint will result in a handicapped like person. If the head is viable, the best treatment is valgus osteotomy. In the original technique, site of nonunion was not explored but in our technique, there is exploration and cleaning of nonunion site and after reduction of fragments, fixation and subtrochanteric osteotomy were done.

Materials and methods

Patients with established nonunion of femoral neck fracture entered in study. Inclusion criteria's were age under 60 years old, spherical head of femur without changing the density of it and femoral neck nonunion at least 6 months after fracture. Nonunion site was freshed and any hard ware was removed and head was reduced as possible and subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy to 150 degree was done and fixed with angle blade plate. Bone graft was not used. Patients were studied one year monthly for signs of union of fracture site and signs of avascular necrosis of femoral head.
