Abstract:

 Abstract  Background: Resection of the distal end of the radius is indicated in the treatment  of locally aggressive primary benign and malignant bone tumors. The aim of this study  was to evaluate the technique of osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the distal radius after wide excision of a giant-cell tumor.  Methods: We analyzed 15 patients retrospectively who had reconstruction of the  distal aspect of the radius with use of an osteoarticular allograft, between 1981 and   2005 after excision of a giant-cell tumor with a minimum follow-up of 2 years (range:   26–125 months, median: 45 months).  Results: 15 consecutive patients with a Campanacci grade 3 giant-cell tumor of the  distal radius formed the study population. Three patients had a local recurrence at 8, 14  and 18 months. Non-:::union::: of the osteotomy line was diagnosed 6 months after surgery  in one case and needed bone grafting. Distal radio–ulnar joint instability was observed  in nine cases. Subchondral bone alterations and joint narrowing were present in all cases but were painful in only one patient. Five patients needed a revision of the osteoarticular allograft, at an average of 5.4 years (range: 0.8 to 12 years) after the initial reconstruction. The reason for the revision was a fracture of the allograft in four patients and recurrence of the tumor in one. Of the fifteen patients in whom the osteoarticular allograft survived, five patients reported no functional limitation, eight had limitation in  the ability to perform strenuous activities, and two had limitation in the ability to perform  moderate activities. The average range of motion of the wrist was 35 degrees of  dorsiflexion, 30 degrees of volar flexion, 10 degrees of radial deviation, 14 degrees of  ulnar deviation, 55 degrees of supination, and 70 degrees of pronation.  Conclusion: Reconstruction of the distal aspect of the radius with use of an osteoarticular allograft was associated with a low rate of recurrence of the tumor, a moderately high rate of revision, and little pain in association with common activities, good function, and a moderate range of motion.

Reconstruction of the Distal Radius following Tumour Resection Using an Osteoarticular Allograft

Reconstruction of the distal radius following tumour resection is challenging and various techniques are recorded. We retrospectively analysed the outcome of five patients (one male and four females) after reconstruction of the distal radius with osteoarticular allograft, following tumour resection. Mean followup was 32 months (range, 4-121). In three of the five patients the dominant limb was ...

Distal radius reconstruction with vascularized proximal fibular autograft after en-bloc resection of recurrent giant cell tumor

BACKGROUND Giant cell tumors (GCTs) located in the distal radius are likely to recur, and the treatment of such recurrent tumors is very difficult. Here, we report our clinical experience in distal radius reconstruction with vascularized proximal fibular autografts after en-bloc excision of the entire distal radius in 17 patients with recurrent GCT (RGCT) of the distal radius. METHODS All 17 ...

Hernia mesh prevent dislocation after wide excision and reconstruction of giant cell tumor distal radius

Giant cell tumor (GCT) remains as major health problem. GCT which located at the lower end of the radius tends to be more aggressive. Wide excision and reconstruction of the wrist in stage 3 of distal radius GCT lesion is an optimal modality to prevent tumor recurrence. However, dislocation often occurs as its complication. We are reporting patient with GCT of distal radius treated with wide ex...

Long-term Results of Osteoarticular Allograft Reconstruction in Children with Distal Femoral Bone Tumors

Background: There is no consensus regarding the best method of reconstruction in pediatric population following thewide resection of malignant bone tumors. More exploration of the complications of osteoarticular reconstruction leads toless existing controversy of this type of reconstruction, which is the main point of this article.Methods: Long-term outcomes and complications of osteoarticular ...

Reconstruction of the distal radius with non-vascularised fibular graft after resection of giant cell tumour of bone.

PURPOSE To evaluate outcomes of wide resection and reconstruction of the distal radius with non-vascularised autogenous fibular grafts for giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone. METHODS Medical records of 7 men and 5 women aged 22 to 47 (mean, 31) years who underwent wide resection of the distal radius and reconstruction with non-vascularised autogenous fibular grafts for GCT of bone were reviewed....
