Reconstruction of distal radius by fibula following excision of grade III giant cell tumour: Follow-up of 18 cases

Giant cell tumour arises from the synovium of tendon sheath, joints, or bursae,mostly affects adults between 30 and 50 years of age, and is slightly more common in females.Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath of tendoachilles is uncommon tumour. Usually it has a high rate of recurrence. In this article we report the case of a 32 year old female with Giant cell tumour of tendoachilles treated by excision with no reccurence after 7 months of follow up

Twenty-one patients underwent excision of a Campanacci grade III giant cell tumour of the distal radius and had reconstruction using a proximal fibula autograft. We compared the functional results of wrist arthrodesis versus arthroplasty. All 21 patients healed in an average of 8 months, and all have remained disease free. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society 93, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores and the grip strength of the operated wrist compared with the contralateral wrist were 93%, 7, and 71% for the arthrodesis group and 83%, 17, and 40% for the arthroplasty group. Arthrodesis of the reconstructed radiocarpal joint provided better grip strength and functional outcomes than arthroplasty. Level of evidence: III

Denosumab Treatment

We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a giant cell tumour (GCT) of the right maxilla and pterygoid process. The patient presented to the maxillofacial and head and neck surgery clinic with an ulcerated lesion of the hard palate. Initial workup with CT revealed a mass within the right maxillary sinus and pterygoid process with associated bone expansion and erosion. Biopsy showed a GCT with mucosal ulceration. Two years after surgical resection, a follow-up CT revealed tumour recurrence involving the right pterygoid process and lateral pterygoid muscle. The patient was then proposed for therapy with denosumab. Under denosumab treatment, the lesion maintained stable dimensions and became sclerotic and heavily ossified.

Background Surgical access to benign neoplastic lesions of the femoral head are associated with significant morbidity, including contamination of intra-osseous access tracks, articular cartilage lesions, avascular bone necrosis or tumour recurrence due to incomplete curettage. Case presentation We present a case of a 20-year-old female with a giant cell tumour in the femoral head, which was treated with curettage through a trans-foveal approach and bone grafting. This technique includes a surgical dislocation of the hip with trochanteric osteotomy. Results At the latest follow-up at 2 years, there was no evidence of local recurrence or avascular necrosis on MRI, and the patient was pain free and back to sports.
