Dr. SiddalingamurthyG., Dr. Ankit Gupta | |
Giant cell tumor (GCT) represents one of the most prevalent benign bone tumors, primarily affecting young adults between the ages of 20 and 40. There are various methods described such as extended curettage and reconstruction using bone grafts or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cementation, juxta-articular distal radius GCT which are associated with recurrence and are difficult to salvage the wrist joint anatomy and function. We have presented a case report of GCT of distal radius managed with wide resection, ulna translocation with wrist arthrodesis. The patient achieved a range of 70 degrees of supination and 80 degrees of pronation good functional finger grip.Ulnar translocation and wrist arthrodesis is a simple method of wrist reconstruction with local availability of vascularized graft and provides excellent forearm function and strength. |
