Description
ZhaoHui Pan and four co-authors report a complex ankle bone surgery, in a case report from 2025. A patient had a large giant cell tumor in the talus, the bone that links the foot to the leg. The tumor sat close to four joint surfaces, which made repair hard after removal.
The team first shrank the tumor's grade with heat treatment, then scraped it out. They rebuilt the gap with a living bone graft from the hip, shaped with help from a printed three-dimensional model. Scans showed the bones joined within two months. Two years later the patient walked normally, with no sign of the tumor returning.
