Methods: 12 men and 5 women aged 18 to 45 (mean 26) years underwent intralesional curettage, use of phenol, and reconstruction using the Ilizarov technique for GCT of the proximal tibia (n=14) or distal femur (n=3), 5 of the cases were recurrence. 3, 12 and 2 tumors were classified as grade-I, grade-II and grade-Ill, respectively. One of the grade-III tumors was associated with an extra-articular pathological fracture. Patients underwent intralesional curettage, use of phenol and reconstruction by Ilizarov technique. 1,2 Functional outcome was evaluated using the Musculo skeletal tumor society (MSTS) score. Results: The mean follow up period was 6 (2.5-10) years. The mean MSTS score was 28.5 out of 15 (Standard deviation, 3; range, 15-30. No patient had malignant transformation. Conclusion: Intralesional curettage use of phenol and reconstruction with llizarov for GCT of bone achieved good functional outcome and no recurrence rate.
