  • Title: Trans-foveal approach for curettage and bone grafting of a giant cell tumour in the femoral head.
    Author: Rüdiger HA, Piasecki K, Becce F, Cherix S.
    Journal: Hip Int; 2016 Nov 10; 26(6):612-614. PubMed ID: 27740684.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Surgical access to benign neoplastic lesions of the femoral head are associated with significant morbidity, including contamination of intra-osseous access tracks, articular cartilage lesions, avascular bone necrosis or tumour recurrence due to incomplete curettage. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 20-year-old female with a giant cell tumour in the femoral head, which was treated with curettage through a trans-foveal approach and bone grafting. This technique includes a surgical dislocation of the hip with trochanteric osteotomy. RESULTS: At the latest follow-up at 2 years, there was no evidence of local recurrence or avascular necrosis on MRI, and the patient was pain free and back to sports.
