title: Techniques in recurrent giant cell tumour of the first metatarsal in adolescents - A rare report of 2 cases.
abstract: Giant cell tumour of the foot is very rare. Very few cases of first metatarsal giant cell tumour were reported. We report two cases of recurrent giant cell tumour in adolescent patients. One was treated with wide excision and fibula grafting. The second patient underwent Boyd's amputation because of superceded infection. Both had no pain, recurrence at the end of final follow up. Recurrent giant cell tumour of the first metatarsal in adolescents and its management is not described in English literature to the best of our knowledge.
