Abstract

Giant cell tumors occurring in the proximal femoral region are rather rare and present as challenges to physicians due to their aggressive nature leading to pathological fractures. Preservation of the hip joint is rather difficult due to their affinity to the periarticular area. As per vast literature search, reconstruction of the proximal femoral region using total hip arthroplasty provide favorable results compared to hip preservation in terms of functional outcomes and reduced recurrence rates. Hereby, we present our experience in a case of proximal femoral giant cell tumor managed with total hip arthroplasty following pathological fracture.
