Abstract
Introduction: Giant cell tumor of bone also known as osteoclastoma is one of the commonest bone tumor. The treatment of osteoclastoma is directed towards local control without sacrificing wrist joint function. This has conventionally been achieved by intralesional curettage with autograft reconstruction.
A Case Report: We report a case of a 26year old male patient who presented with swelling over the distal end of the right distal radius. Operated with en block excision and reconstructive arthroplasty with avascularised autogenous contralateral fibular graft.
Results: No post-operative recurrence were found. Patient had good range of motion at the last follow up visit and was cable of doing his daily activities.
Conclusion: Avascular autologous proximal fibular arthroplasty provides for excellent functional outcomes after wide resection in distal radius GCT .
Keywords: GCT, giant cell tumor, osteoclastoma, distal radius, Autologous fibular arthroplasty.
