Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a rare benign tumour of the musculoskeletal system. Surgical management is fraught with challenges due to high recurrence rates. The aim of this study was to describe surgical treatment and evaluate surgical outcomes of TGCT at an Australian tertiary referral centre for musculoskeletal tumours and to identify factors affecting recurrence rates. A prospective database of all patients with TGCT surgically managed by two orthopaedic oncology surgeons was reviewed. All cases irrespective of previous treatment were included and patients without follow-up were excluded. Pertinent tumour characteristics and surgical outcomes were collected for analysis.Aims
Methods
We report a prospective cohort study of the midterm results of
surgical dislocation of the hip (according to Ganz) to perform resection
of osteochondromas involving the femoral neck in patients with multiple
hereditary exostoses (MHE). Hip range of movement (ROM) was assessed pre- and post-operatively.
Patients’ judgment of post-operative reduction of pain, symptoms,
the Rand 36-item Health Survey (RAND-36) and complications were
analysed. Aims
