Giant-cell tumor of the radius treated by massive resection and tibial bone graft

Abstract

Six cases of aggressive or malignant giant-cell tumor of the distal end of the radius were treated by massive resection and reconstruction using a corticocancellous autograft taken from the tibia. There was no local recurrence or metastasis noted on follow-up (average, eight years and three months). An excellent functional result was achieved in each case.
