Regarding the surgical approach to GCT of the distal radius, curettage with adjuvant therapy was associated with a higher likelihood of recurrence compared with wide resection with reconstruction. Nevertheless, the curettage approach resulted in significantly lower rates of operative complications, decreased pain scores, and better functional outcomes in comparison to the resection group.
