Combined Proximal Radius Reconstruction Following Resection for Oncological Indication

. 2025 Mar ; 92 (1) : 52-57.

Language Czech Country Czech Republic Media print

Document type Case Reports, English Abstract, Journal Article

Early surgical treatment of giant cell tumour of the bone has very good functional outcomes with a relatively low risk of local recurrence and metastatic spread.In case of a pathologic fracture, extraosseous extension, and tumor location in an anatomically difficult area, surgical treatment may represent a big challenge with an uncertain functional outcome.Our case report presents a 35-year-old patient with a delayed diagnosis of giant cell tumor of the proximal radius of the dominant limb, with pulmonary metastases. Following neoadjuvant Denosumab therapy, with a major treatment effect on both the primary tumor and pulmonary metastases, we performed a wide resection and combined biological reconstruction with fibular autograft, radial head endoprosthesis, and comprehensive elbow ligament reconstruction.At 24 months after surgery, the patient is self-sufficient, capable of more physically demanding work, with a satisfactory functional outcome of reconstruction (MSTS 66.6%, TESS 69%), with no signs of local recurrence and regression of pulmonary metastases at 18 months after the last administration of Denosumab.
