Radioulnar Joint

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.

Primary Tumors

Giant cell tumor of bone is a benign tumor with an aggressive behavior. Its typical subarticular location and high recurrence risk can be associated with significant morbidity. Although benign, it can rarely metastasize especially to the lungs. Also, it can be multicentric in less than 1% of patients. Late malignant transformation, although rare, can occur with a very poor prognosis. This series reports on these unusual and challenging features and management considerations of giant cell tumor of bone. This retrospective study included review of the medical records of patients with a confirmed histopathological diagnosis of giant cell tumor of bone. A total of 25 patients (16 females and 9 males) with a mean age of 34.5 years were included; 22 had primary tumors, while 3 were referred with recurrent tumors. Pain was the most common presenting symptom. Most patients had grade III tumors. Tumors around the knee were the most common. Multicentric tumors were detected in three patients. Twenty-three patients (20 primary giant cell tumor of bone and 3 with recurrence) received treatment. Most patients (15/23) were treated with intralesional curettage with or without adjuvants. Seven patients had wide excision. Recurrence was seen in 45% (9/20) of primary giant cell tumor of bone especially with difficult anatomical locations. Most recurrences occurred more than 4 years after treatment. Pulmonary nodules were detected in four patients; two of them showed resolution during follow-up. One patient developed secondary sarcoma transformation with a fatal outcome. Giant cell tumor of bone was more common in females. Long bones were more affected, especially around the knee. Intralesional curettage was the most frequently used treatment. Recurrence was associated with inadequate tumor resection (especially in difficult anatomical location), younger age, male gender, and advanced local tumor grade. Denosumab can be used in the treatment of pulmonary metastasis, multicentric and recurrent giant cell tumor of bone. Due to late recurrence and malignant transformation, a prolonged follow-up is warranted.

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.

Aggressive Tumor

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.
