Giant Cell Tumor Surgery
Dear Sir/ Ma'am
I have. Undergone surgery for removal of giant cell tumor from my distal femur region of right leg , extended currettage with cementing plating was done. It has been 10 months since removal of tumor i am able to bend my around 123-125 degrees with 0 degree extension. I want to ask will this bone cement and plate be permanent or will i have to get it removed and is there any lifespan for bone cement?

If no problem, no need to remove it..
If severe pain, infection, or walking problem.. then removal is required after doctor's consultancy.
