Abstract：Objective To observe the treatment of the extremity long bone giant cell tumors with pathologic fracture by microwave hyperthermia. Methods From 2007 to 2016, 7 cases underwent limb salvage surgery by microwave hyperthermia. There were 1 male and 6 females. The mean age was 31 years. All 7 cases were of Campanacci grade 3. Clinical and radiologic examinations, MSTS scores and Enneking scores were evaluated. Results Follow-up ranged from 12 to 66 months. No local recurrence occurred. The mean Enneking score was 28; the MSTS score was 30; the Cooney score was 80. Conclusions Treatment of the extremity long bone giant cell tumors with pathologic fracture by microwave hyperthermia is a useful and reliable procedure, although the long-term follow-up is expected.
