The blood pressure and use of tourniquet are related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage of primary benign bone tumors: a retrospective and hypothesis-generating study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Intralesional curettage is a commonly used treatment for primary bone tumors. However, local recurrence of tumors after curettage remains a major challenge.

Questions

(1) Is blood pressure related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage for benign or intermediate bone tumors? (2) What's the impact of tourniquet usage on the risk of recurrence from high blood pressure?

Methods

This retrospective study evaluated patients receiving intralesional curettage for primary bone tumors from January 2011 to January 2015. A total of 411 patients with a minimum five-year follow-up were included for analysis. Demographic and disease-related variables were first assessed in univariable analyses for local recurrence risk. When a yielded p-value was < 0.2, variables wer
