Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumours of the Hand: A Multicentre Case Control Study

Many factors have been proposed to contribute to the risk of recurrent TSGCT (Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumours); however, we remain unable to predict those at risk which formed the rationale for this multicentre retrospective case control study of 28 patients with recurrence. We age and sex matched cases of recurrence 1:1 with controls over 10 years. Using Cox regression, we present hazard ratios (HR) for recurrence with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Out of 285 cases, 28 individuals developed recurrence after a median 2.4 years.
