Wrist Reconstruction Using Free Vascularized Fibular Head Graft Following Intralesional Excision for Campanacci Grade 3 Giant Cell Tumors Involving the Articular Surface of the Distal Radius
Reconstruction with a free vascularized fibular head graft after en bloc excision of a Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumor of bone in the distal radius can effectively control local recurrence. However, it leads to the loss of wrist movement, subsequent radiocarpal subluxation, and an osteoarthritic change. Another treatment option for grade 3 lesions is intralesional excision and cementation, which preserves wrist movement but does not restore the articular surface. We report a case of wrist reconstruction using a free vascularized fibular head graft after the intralesional excision of a Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumor of bone with invasion of the articular surface of the distal radius.
