Abstract EN
Limited literature is available on the reconstruction of the distal radius using prosthetic replacement following resection of a bone tumour.
We present the first reported case, in the English literature, of the use of an entirely metal endoprosthesis for the reconstruction of the distal radius.
This case involves a 66-year-old male who was treated for giant cell tumour of the distal radius with surgical excision of the lesion and replacement of the defect using a predominantly titanium endoprosthesis.
He was followed-up for 56 months following surgery and had a good functional outcome with no associated pain or complications.
We propose that the use of a primarily titanium endoprosthesis for the reconstruction of a bone defect of the distal radius is a suitable alternative, providing good function of the forearm with satisfactory range of movement at the wrist and adequate pain relief.
