Abstract
A 36-year-old man presented with a long history of pain in his left ankle. Imaging and biopsy confirmed this to be a giant cell tumour of bone. This was treated with curettage of the lesion and stabilisation with an Ilizarov frame. After a prolonged course of rehabilitation he has excellent function and has returned to hill walking and there is no evidence of recurrence of the giant cell tumour.
