title: [Adjuvant therapy (phenol, bone cement) in giant cell tumors].
abstract: 69 patients were treated with giant-cell tumors in the Orthopaedic Department of the Semmelweis Medical School in Budapest between 1975-1989. The recurrence rate was 15 cases in 36 patients who were treated with curettage and spongiosa plasty only. In 11 cases the curettage was combined with adjuvants (phenol and/or filling with bone cement). This way the recurrence rate could be decreased to 1 case out of 11. The use of phenol and bone cement proved to be useful adjuvants to the surgical curettage at the giant-cell tumors and without complications.
