UNASSIGNED: @entity84 has a predilection for the epiphyses or apophyses of long tubular bones. Management of lesions in the proximal tibia is challenging because it is difficult to gain access to @entity75 for completion of curettage. From October 2007 to December 2011, 9 @entity1 with de novo @entity84 of the proximal tibia underwent surgery at the authors' institution. All @entity1 initially presented with @entity158 , and 5 @entity1 had limitation of range of motion of the ipsilateral knee. Four lesions abutted the tibial attachment sites of the cruciate ligaments. Surgical procedures included intralesional @entity5 curettage, additional burring, and packing of the defect with bone graft and/or bone cement. The extra-articular approach was used according to @entity5 location. The medial or lateral parapatellar approach was used when the @entity5 was located in the anterior two-thirds of the horizontal plane. When a lesion was located in the posterior third, the posteromedial or posterolateral approach was used as the lesion was cornered. Mean duration of follow-up was 47.2 months (range, 27-80 months). No local recurrence or pulmonary metastasis was noted at latest follow-up. Mean functional score was 29.3 points (range, 28-30 points). All @entity1 fully recovered range of motion in the affected knee. No avulsion @entity174 or anteroposterior instability of the knee joint was detected. Results of the current study suggest that intralesion curettage followed by additional burring with an extra-articular approach is a successful treatment option for @entity84 of the proximal tibia.
