First experience of ankle joint arthroplasty in a giant cell tumor of the tibial epiphysiometaphysis: case report and literature review

Abstract

Case report for the 18 years old female patient with a giant cell tumor of the distal articular end of the right tibia is presented. The surgical intervention included segmental resection of the articular end of the right tibia and substitution of the defect with the custom-made ankle endoprosthesis. The follow up period made up 4 years. The range of motion in the right ankle joint was satisfactory, no relapse occurred and the implant components were stable.
