Wide Margin excision followed by tibialisation of fibula and ankle arthrodesis as novel surgical technique in giant cell tumor patient

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone are relatively rare, constituting about 3% of all bone tumors.1 Its location in the distal tibia is quite rare and present a challenge in its management. This is due to the fact that the site has few direct muscle attachments and minimal vascularity. Wide margin excision followed by tibialisation of fibula and ankle arthrodesis is a relatively straightforward procedure but only few studies have evaluated its role in the reconstruction of tumor-related defects.
