Summary

This study tests whether applying a bisphosphonate drug directly to the surgical site can lower the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone returning. About 120 adults with a first-time tumor in an arm or leg will be randomly assigned to receive either standard surgery alone or surgery plus the drug. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces tumor recurrence without increasing infection risk.
