Outcomes of short segment distal radius resections and wrist fusion with iliac crest bone grafting for giant cell tumor.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Distal radius is third most common site for occurrence of Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone. Most of Campanacci grade II & III cases require resection. Reconstructions of these defect are challenging. Though fibular arthroplasty provides mobility at wrist but is fraught with complications of donor site morbidity and instability with wrist pain. Wrist arthrodesis with ulna translocation provides stable reconstruction but is cosmetically less appealing. We present a series of 12 cases of GCT of distal radius treated with short segment (6 cm or less) resections and wrist fusion with iliac crest grafting. We evaluated donor site morbidity, functional and oncological outcomes.

Objectives

To assess time to union, donor site morbidity, functional and oncological outcomes af
