Abstract
Background: To investigate the clinical characteristics and surgical efficacy of localized tenosynovial giant cell tumors in children.
Methods: The clinical data, surgery, and follow-up results of 17 children with localized tenosynovial giant cell tumors who visited our hospital from 2011 to 2021 were collected for statistical analysis.
Results: The median patient age was 7 years and 8 months, and the ratio of males to females was 1.43 (10/7). The predilection of disease was similar in hands and feet, and the common presenting symptom was mass. One patient experienced recurrence after surgery, and one child had postoperative functional limitations.
Conclusion: Extremities are common sites of localized tenosynovial giant cell tumors in children. Complete surgical resection helps reduce the recurrence rate.

Aims & Scope
The Journal of Children’s Orthopaedics is the official journal of the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society (EPOS) and is published by The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery.
It provides a forum for the advancement of the knowledge and education in paediatric orthopaedics and traumatology across geographical borders. It advocates an increased worldwide involvement in preventing and treating musculoskeletal diseases in children and adolescents.
The journal publishes high quality, peer-reviewed articles that focus on clinical practice, diagnosis and treatment of disorders unique to paediatric orthopaedics, as well as on basic and applied research. It aims to help physicians stay abreast of the latest and ever-changing developments in the field of paediatric orthopaedics and traumatology.
The journal welcomes original contributions submitted exclusively for review to the journal. This continuously published online journal is fully open access and will publish one print issue each year to coincide with the EPOS Annual Congress, featuring the meeting’s abstracts.
