Case Report: Three-dimensional printed prosthesis reconstruction for patello-femoral large osteochondral defects in a patient with distal femoral giant cell tumour: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Background: The restoration and reconstruction of patello-femoral large osteochondral defects caused by bone tumours are challenging because of the local recurrence rate and the joint's mechanical complexity. Although three-dimensional (3D)-printed prostheses are commonly adopted for tumour-induced bone defect reconstruction, patello-femoral osteochondral reconstruction with 3D-printed prostheses is rarely reported. Case presentation: A 44-year-old female patient with progressive swelling and pain in the left knee for 6 months was diagnosed with Campanacci Grade II giant cell tumour (GCT). She underwent intralesional curettage combined with autografting and internal fixation, after which complications of deep infection arose. The patient then underwent internal fixation remov
