| Abstract: | Giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone is one of the most common benign and locally aggressive bone tumours occurring around the knee joint. As this tumour occurs in the juxta articular region, it typically compromises the knee joint function resulting in painful restriction of movement, making the patient incapacitated and difficulty in carrying their activities of daily living like walking, sitting and squatting. Many methods of surgical treatment are described in literature for these tumours. Treatment by curettage alone has a high risk of local recurrence. In order to minimise the possibility of local recurrence, use of adjuvants (hydrogen peroxide, phenol, bone cement, cryosurgery) is recommended followed by reconstruction with autograft, allograft and bone cement. At our institute, the surgical protocol followed for the treatment of GCT of distal femur & proximal tibia was Intralesional extended curettage with high-speed burr, use of hydrogen peroxide, reconstructing the bone defect using sandwich technique followed by Locking compression plate fixation, thereby preserving the native Knee joint function and offering early weight bearing on the operated limb. A total of 15 cases were treated from January 2019 to May 2021. The aim of our study was to evaluate the pain free range of motion in the knee joint postoperatively and the patient’s ability to carry on their activities of daily living independently. Postoperatively, all the patients had a significant improvement in their knee joint function rendering them to carry on their activities of daily living independently, thereby improving their quality of life. There was no recurrence in any of our cases during the follow-up period. From this study, we conclude that Joint function can be preserved using Sandwich technique for treating Giant cell tumours around the knee with favourable clinical outcomes. |
