Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a primary malignant bone tumor with cartilaginous differentiation. The only available treatment is carcinological surgical resection since the usual adjuvant treatments are ineffective. The pelvic location creates specific technical difficulties both for exeresis and reconstruction. Our objective was to evaluate the carcinological and functional outcomes of inter-ilioabdominal amputation and conservative surgery. ⋯ Level IV; therapeutic retrospective study.

Long bones giant cells tumors: treatment by curretage and cavity filling cementation.
Giant cell tumors (GCT) of bone are benign tumors with local aggressiveness that most of the time occur around the metaphyseal area of long bones, often in contact with the articular cartilage. Their treatment remains controversial because of their high recurrence rate. The authors report a retrospective series of 30 cases treated using curettage followed by cementation. They suggest demonstrating the mechanical and functional benefit of this technique, its benefit controlling the risk of recurrence, and of osteoarthritis potential. ⋯ Level IV; Therapeutic study.
