Abstract
We reported eleven cases of giant cell tumors of bone which were treated by marginal extracapsular curettage and cementation. There was no local recurrence or no infection. Functional results were evaluated accoring to a modified Enneking's functional evaluation system. Six cases were rated as excellent, four were as good and one was as fair. A postoperative pathologic fracture occurred in one case healed by conservative treatment. We recommend the marginal extracapsular curettage and cementation as the first treatment for giant cell tumors of bone with stages 1 and 2.
