Long-term follow-up after en bloc resection of the distal radius with reconstruction using ulnar translocation.

ABSTRACT: Reconstruction of the distal radius after en bloc bone tumor resection is challenging. Among various surgical reconstruction methods, ulnar translocation is a simple approach that does not require vascular anastomosis, autograft harvesting, or prosthesis preparation. This report describes the 7-year follow-up of a patient who underwent reconstruction with ulnar translocation following resection of a recurrent giant cell tumor of the bone. A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with multiple recurrent giant cell tumor of the bone involving the distal radius. The patient underwent en bloc resection of the tumor with osteotomy of the distal radius 5 cm proximal to the wrist joint through a dorsal incision. The distal ulna was osteotomized at the same level and translocated with preservation of the
