[The role of a bone cement filling in intralesional tumor treatment].

The article reports on the results of treatment of cystic and juxta-articular benign primary bone tumors and tumor-like lesions with a temporary bone cement plug. The mean implantation time of the cement plug was 18 months, following which the cement plug was replaced with an autologous spongiosa filling. Cases were followed up for an average of 58 months. In the patient group as a whole, a relapse rate of 5.8% was recorded (0% for Giant Cell Tumors alone). It was possible to describe the clinically functional results as "good" and "very good" in 95% of the cases. It is clear from these results that temporary plugging of large juxta-articular bone lesions is an excellent treatment method. The article goes on to describe complications in detail. Results are given in detailed tables.
