Abstract

We presented a case of a giant cells tumor in the distal end of the right thigh at the level of the internal femoral condyle. Previously studied, the tumor was surgically retired, and the diagnosis was established through the biopsy. In that procedure we carried out a lesion extended scrape respecting the join surface of the femoral condyle, filling the cavity with hydroxyapatite HAP-200®, being unnecessary to support it with an internal or external osteosynthesis, only with  plaster wedge for 6 weeks. The patient´s follow-up has lasted for 6 years up to day, and no recidivism or metastasis has been reported, with a biomaterial positive osteointegration, achieving the bone healing and a join functioning without restriction.
