Abstract

Bone tumor in the trochanteric area is not infrequent and it is important to differentiate the tumors in this area for diagnosis, early settings of therapeutic plans and prognostic previsions. Twenty-one cases of benign bone tumors in the trochanteric area treated at Dept. of Orthopedi Surgery, College of Medicine, Ewha Womans University Hospital, from January 1975 to December 1983 were analysed and following results were obtained. l. of 21 cases, 10 cases were fibrous dysplasia, 6 cases were simple bone cyst, 3 were giant ce tumor and 2 were aneurysmal bone cyst. 2. Pathologic fractures were accompanied in 6 cases; 3 of fibrous dysplasia, 2 of simple bone cy: and 1 of aneurysmal bone cyst. 3. After treatment with curettage, bone graft and instrumentation, 3 cases recurred; 2 cases of fibrous dysplasia and 1 of simple bone cyst. 4. As prognostic factors, completeness of curettage, amount and source of bone graft were considered to be important.
