Giant-cell tumor (GCT) is locally aggressive bone neoplasm, with an unpredictable pattern of biological aggressiveness. The optimal treatment had to achieve a negligible local recurrence rate while maximizing musculoskeletal function. Numerous options for reconstruction are available, but in the literature there is a lack of salvage surgery data. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman who underwent complete wrist arthrodesis with vascularized fibular graft as salvage procedure for allograft necrosis, after excision of a distal radius GCT. The patient did not complain of any impairment in daily use, and the functional score was 22 points (73%) at latest follow-up of 14 months. Despite joint salvage remains the most favorable treatment with regard to functional outcome for aggressive tumors of the distal radius, vascularized fibular grafts is a valuable alternative especially in salvage procedures, where the use of another allograft could lead to higher complications rate.

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.
