Reconstruction with fibular autograft and silicone implant arthroplasty after resection of giant-cell tumour of the proximal phalanx: a case report with 18-month follow-up.
Primary giant-cell tumour of phalanx is a rare entity. Only few cases are described in the literature. Giant-cell tumour of hand is reported to have high local recurrence rate. Curettage and bone grafting have been performed by few authors with limited success. Most of the cases have been treated with ray amputation. We report this case as the first reported case in the literature that has been treated with fibular autograft and silicone implant arthroplasty for giant-cell tumour of the proximal phalanx.
