Osteochondral allograft transplantation after excision of femoral head giant cell tumour: a case report.

Abstract We report a case of Giant Cell Tumour of the femoral head in a 22-year-old man that was excised and reconstructed with an osteochondral allograft. After 3.5 years follow-up, the graft had completely united and there were no signs of recurrence or resorption; the patient had an excellent functional outcome. Osteochondral allograft transplantation may provide a viable option for joint salvage after excision of a benign or locally aggressive tumour in the femoral head in selected cases.
