Purpose Giant cell tumor of the distal radius are frequent lesions, and different types of surgeries have been described. Functional results, after conservative treatment or arthrodesis, often find a decreased strength and range of motion. The sacrifice of the distal radioulnar joint could be one of the causes. We report the case of a 26-year-old patient who presented with a Campanacci Grade III giant cell tumor of the distal radius. We managed his case by the association of en bloc resection and allograft reconstruction with the preservation of distal radioulnar joint. Hypothesis This procedure could improve functional results, without increasing the risk of recurrence at 2 years follow-up. Case Report The originality of our technique was the possibility of distal radioulnar joint conservation. We preserved a long portion of cortex bone all through the ulnar side of the distal radius. We then used an allograft of distal radius, fixed by a reconstruction anatomical plate. Results At 2 years follow-up, the range of motion was 100° with 60° of palmar flexion, 40° of extension, 75° of pronation, and 70° of supination. Radial and ulnar inclination were 10 and 15°, respectively. MTS (Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score) 1993 was 88% and DASH score was 6. Concerning grip strength, it was measured at 85% in comparison with the other side. Pronation and supination strengths were 80 and 73%, respectively, in comparison with the other side. At follow-up, standard X-rays showed no recurrence. The allograft was well integrated. Conclusion Conservative treatment of the distal radioulnar joint allowed an almost ad integrum recovery, concerning strengths and range of motion. It allows a better functional recovery, without increasing the risk of recurrence.

Introduction: The aim is to analyze the functional outcomes of patients of giant cell tumor (GCT) of distal radius treated with ulnar translocation and wrist arthrodesis. Methods: Study included 25 patients of aggressive GCT of distal radius, resected and reconstructed using ulnar translocation and wrist arthrodesis. The ulna-carpal radius fixation was performed with plate and screws. The patients were followed to bony union and minimum follow-up was 1 year. Result: Twenty-two patients were of Campanacci grade 3 and three patients were of Campanacci grade2. The mean follow-up was of 23 months (12–36). All patients had an excellent range of pronation and supination. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 24 (range 22–28). Grip strength of affected hand compared to the contra lateral hand was found good in 17 cases and average in 7 cases. The mean bone union time at ulna to radius junction was at 6.5 (5–8) months and ulna to carpal junction at 4.5 (4–6) months. The complications were surgical site infection (one case), recurrence (one case) and failure of union (one case), and ulna graft fracture with implant failure in (two cases). Conclusion: Reconstruction of distal end of radius using ulnar translocation and wrist arthrodesis provides excellent functional outcomes with preservation of rotational movement of forearm and hand function. Reconstruction of the distal radius by ulnar translocation without complete detachment from surrounding soft tissues functions like vascularized graft without use of microvascular techniques.

Introduction: Surgical management of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone of the distal radius (GCTDR) remains controversial due to risk of local recurrence (LR) offset by functional limitations which result from en-bloc resection. This study aims to determine the oncologic and functional outcomes of wide excision (WE) vs intralesional curettage (IC) of GCTDR. Methods: A complete search of the applicable literature was done. Included studies reported on patients from the same cohort who were surgically treated for GCTDR with WE or IC. Two reviewers independently assessed all papers. The primary outcome measure was LR. Results: One-hundred-forty-one patients from six studies were included: 60 treated with WE, and 81 with IC. Five WE patients (8%) suffered LR whereas 25 IC patients (31%) did. The odds of LR were three times less in the WE group vs the IC group. MSTS1993 scores, where available, were on average 'good' with WE and 'excellent' with IC. Conclusions: Within statistical limitations the data support an attempt, where feasible, at wrist joint preservation and superior function with IC. Intralesional curettage is reasonable when the functional benefit outweighs the risk of recurrence as is the case in many cases of GCT of the distal radius.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) is histopathologically benign tumor of long bone particularly in distal femur and the proximal tibia. It commonly occurs in adults of age 20-40 years but rare in children. GCT is considered to be locally aggressive tumor and tendency of recurrence is higher even after surgery. The clinical features are nonspecific, the principle symptoms are pain, swelling and limiting adjacent joint movements. Diagnosis is based on the radiographic appearance and histopathological findings .In our case X-ray showed ill defined lytic lesion on proximal fibula with cortical thinning and MRI finding revealed expansile lyticlesion in meta-epiphysis of right fibula 16×16×28mm adjacent to growth plate with fluid level. The sclerotic rim appears hypo intense on T1 & hyper intense on T2. Core needle biopsy showed giant cell tumor on proximal fibula. Considering the risk of recurrence wide local excision was done. Management of GCT of proximal fibula in young patient is critical for preventing recurrence and enhancing functional outcomes by saving adjacent anatomical structure. No evidence of local recurrence and metastasis was found in 24 months of follow up.
