Abstract

Here, we report a case of artificial prosthesis of the knee joint combining with homogenous bone transplantation for the treatment of giant cell tumor of the right distal femur. At one year follow up, the patient complains almost no pain nor tenderness at operative site and ambulates with partial weight bearing with crutches. The X-ray finding shows satisfactory bony union with progressive bony remodelling.
