HERNANDEZ ESPINOSA, Orlando A. et al. Treatment of the giant-cell tumor with block resection and pediculated graft of the fibula . Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2006, vol.20, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.
The case of a patient with giant-cell tumor in the proximal extreme of the left tibia is presented. He underwent surgery and block resection of the tumor was performed. The surgical alternative technique of knee arthrodesis was applied by using the ipsilateral fibula. Stabilization was attained with a special assembly of RALCA external fixation. The patient was followed up for 5 years. The absence of tumoral relapse, a solid consolidation of the graft in both extremes and progressive hypertrophy of the osteal cortices of the grafted fibula were confirmed.
