Title: [Results of using bone cement and phenol lavage in the surgical management of giant cell bone tumors]. Author: Szendröi M, Antal I. Journal: Magy Traumatol Orthop Helyreallito Seb; 1992; 35(4):333-8. PubMed ID: 1363575. Abstract: Authors report on experiences gained with phenol lavage used as adjuvant and filling with bone cement in the surgical treatment of giant cell tumors of the bone. The effect of the adjuvant therapy was a considerable decrease in the rate of relapses: in 11 patients 1 relapse was found only in contrary to the 15 relapses in the control material (41 per cent) after 36 excochleations. They think that with adequate indications both the phenol lavage and filling with bone cement are useful supplements to the surgical therapy.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
