Joint preserved reconstruction after curettage in giant cell tumor of bone arising in the distal radius: Case report.

INTRODUCTION

Giant cell tumor of bone is a locally aggressive tumor. Preserved joint reconstruction for tumors in the distal radius is challenging, especially when there is extraosseous extension and less subarticular bone.

PRESENTATION OF CASE

To preserve the joint, we developed a new reconstruction technique using β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) with strong compressive resistance.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

Giant cell tumor of bone in the distal radius was treated by curettage and bone grafting, plus the use of β-TCP. This new method will preserve joint junction.
