TI  - Reconstruction with beta-Tricalcium Phosphate for Giant Cell Tumor of Bone around 
      the Knee.

AB  - Giant cell tumor of bone is a locally aggressive metaphyseal lesion extending to 
      the epiphysis, mostly occurring around the knee joint. Reconstruction to preserve 
      the joint is difficult when there is little subarticular bone. Four such cases 
      with a giant cell tumor of bone around the knee joint were treated by curettage 
      and reconstruction using beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP). Block-shaped beta-TCP with 
      high mechanical strength (hard-type beta-TCP) was implanted into the cavity, while 
      standard beta-TCP particles were put into the subarticular space. Exercise to 
      promote improved range of motion was performed after the operation. The hard-type 
      beta-TCP is mechanically stronger than cancellous bone. Therefore, weight bearing 
      can start around 3 months postoperatively when bone has been incorporated into 
      the subarticular area but before complete bone incorporation into the lesion. 
      This reconstructive procedure also provides excellent knee function.
