Purpose of Presentation
• Long term effect of subchondral cement in development of early cartilage damage & Osteoarthritis.
• Cement fracture in the absence of metal support.• Development of sarcomatous changes due to
Radiation therapy.• Long term effect on functional status of knee
joint.
Case history
• A 20 yrs old female, GCT lower end femur lt.• Curetting & grafting with Cementing done 1997• Pathological fracture treated conservatively.• Recurrence – 1998• Radiation followed by repeat curettage and
cementing -1998.• Yearly follow up till Jan.2016
Pathological fracture – 1998Treated conservatively

Case summary
• Follow up from Sept 1997 – January 2016.• Functionally normal – full ROM and squating.• A small piece of cement is lying loose in
posterior – medial soft tissue.• A small fluid collection occurs medially from
the site of cement avulsion occasionally.• Planning to remove the loose piece.
comments
• We did not find any deterioration in function of knee in spite of repeated squatting and sitting cross legged position.
• Repeated MRI were done to assess early development of Cartilage damage and any sarcomatous changes in the lesion.
• A small piece of cement avulsed from adductor tubercle region and is loose in posterior and medial soft tissue.
comments
• There is off and on formation of small cyst at the site of avulsion of cement.
• We did not observed any fracture in cement mantle, though three packets of cements were used.
• However there is always a question mark on proper management of secondary OA or Sarcoma if developed, as patient is too young for Maga-prosthesis and there is no bone for fusion of knee.
