Arthroscopy-assisted curettage and bone grafting for proximal femur giant cell tumor in a 25-year-old man

This is a case report of a 25-year-old man with right hip pain from a giant cell tumor of the proximal femur. The patient underwent lesion curettage and inactivation assisted by hip arthroscopy, followed by reconstruction of the bone defect using a combination of artificial and autologous bone grafting. No comparator procedure was reported.

The authors report that this single case suggests the procedure may facilitate local tumor control and hip joint function preservation. No specific outcome data, effect sizes, statistical measures, or duration of follow-up were provided. Safety and tolerability information, including adverse events, was not reported.

Key limitations include the evidence being from a single patient with no control group, statistical analysis, or reported follow-up data. The outcome is described as a suggestion rather than a definitive result. The authors state this case may serve as a reference for managing similar cases, but its practice relevance is extremely limited due to the preliminary nature of the evidence.
