Bilateral Solitary Osteochondroma of the Bicipital Tuberosity Accompanied with Painful Clicking: A Case Report and Literature Review

Although osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor often observed in daily practice, solitary osteochondroma of the bicipital tuberosity is rarely observed. Herein, we report a case of bilateral solitary osteochondroma of the bicipital tuberosity. A 76-year-old woman experienced crackling and painful clicking bilaterally in her proximal forearms during pronation-supination. X-ray imaging, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the symptom was caused by bilateral solitary osteochondroma of the bicipital tuberosity. Bone tumor resection was performed on both sides. After surgery, the symptoms improved. X-ray imaging performed 2 years after surgery revealed no tumor recurrence. When painful clicking occurs around the elbow joint, a solitary osteochondroma of the bicipital tuberosity should be suspected; this symptom should be examined, and the surgeon should consider surgery positively. Exposed subchondral bone may rub against, collide with, or impinge upon the ulna during forearm pronation-supination and induce pain.

Bone Autograft

Limb salvage surgery has become the standard treatment for malignant primary bone tumors in the extremities. Limb salvage represents a challenge in skeletally immature patients. Several treatment options are available for limb reconstruction after tumor resection in children. We report our results using the technique of epiphyseal sparing and reconstruction with frozen autograft bone in 18 children. The mean follow-up period for the all patients included in this study is 72 ± 26 m. Eight patients remained disease-free, seven patients lived with no evidence of disease, two were alive but with disease, and one patient died of the disease. Five- and ten-year rates of survival were 94.4%. Graft survival at 5 and 10 years was 94.4%. Functional outcome using the Enneking scale was excellent in 17 patients (94.4%) and poor in one patient (5.5%). Complications include 2 nonunions, 2 fractures, 2 deep infections, 1 soft tissue recurrence, and leg length discrepancy in 7 cases. This technique is a good reconstructive choice in a child with a nonosteolytic primary or secondary bone tumor, responsive to chemotherapy, without involvement of the articular cartilage. It is a straight forward, effective, and biological technique, which affords immediate mobilization of joints and possible cryoimmune effects, with excellent long term functional outcome and less complication.
