%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Currently there is no consensus if wide resection and curettage in giant cell tumor have effect on local recurrence rate in the presence of a pathological fracture.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We conducted a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of papers which reported outcomes in patients of giant cell tumor with and without a pathological fracture. The odds ratio (OR) of local recurrence between wide resection and curettage group in giant cell tumor with pathological fracture was calculated.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>05 eligible papers were selected for final analysis. This included patients, of whom (18.0%) had a pathological fracture. The pooled OR for local recurrence between patients of pathological fracture treated with wide resection and curettage was 0.298% (95% Confidence interval (CI) 0.0669-1.329, p = 0.97).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Wide resection and curettage in patients of giant cell tumor with pathological fracture has difference in local recurrence rates. However the presence of a pathological fracture should no be only influential factor in the decision making to perform wide resection or curettage. A proper planning and judicious approach is required in giant cell tumor with pathological fracture for deciding the appropriate treatment method.
