From 1979, a total of 5 cases of giant cell tumor of the lower end of radius were treated by segmental resection, and vascularized fibular head transplantation, and reconstruction of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. The bone healed within 2-3 months. The patients were followed for 5-10 years. There was no recurrence, nor distant metastasis, and the functional recovery of extremities was satisfactory.The clinical materials, the operative techniques and the assessment of the long-term results were introduced.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of bone cement filling on articular cartilage injury after curettage of giant cell tumor around the knee. MethodsFifty-three patients with giant cell tumor who accorded with the inclusion criteria were treated between January 2000 and December 2011, and the cl inical data were retrospectively analyzed. There were 30 males and 23 females, aged 16-69 years (mean, 34.2 years). The lesion located at the distal femur in 28 cases and at the proximal tibia in 25 cases. According to Campanacci grade, there were 6 patients at grade I, 38 at grade Ⅱ, and 9 at grade Ⅲ. Of 53 patients, 42 underwent curettage followed by bone cement fill ing, and 11 received curettage followed by bone grafts in the subchondral bony area and bone cement fill ing. Two groups were divided according to whether secondary osteoarthritis occurred or not during postoperative follow-up. The gender, age, lesion site, the subchondral residual bone thickness, tumor cross section, preoperative Campanacci grade, subchondral bone graft, and Enneking function score were compared between 2 groups, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done. ResultsAll incisions healed by first intention. The average follow-up time was 65 months (range, 23-158 months). Of 53 cases, 37 (69.8%) had no osteoarthritis, and 16 (30.2%) had secondary osteoarthritis. Three cases (5.7%) recurred during the follow-up period. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed no significant difference in gender, age, lesion site, and Campanacci grade between 2 groups (P>0.1); difference was significant in the subchondral residual bone thickness, tumor cross section, Enneking function score, and subchondral bone graft (P<0.1). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the decreased subchondral residual bone thickness, the increased tumor cross section, and no subchondral bone graft are the risk factors of postoperative secondary osteoarthritis (P<0.05). ConclusionCurettage of giant cell tumor around the knee followed by bone cement filling can increase the damage of cartilage, and subchondral bone graft can delay or reduce cartilage injury.
ObjectiveTo investigate the short-term effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) printing personalized prosthesis in the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone around knee joint.MethodsA clinical data of 9 patients with giant cell tumor of bone around knee joints and met the inclusive criteria between May 2014 and August 2017 was retrospectively analysed. There were 4 males and 5 females, with an average age of 35.8 years (range, 24-50 years). The lesion located at the distal femur in 4 cases and at the proximal tibia in 5 cases. The disease duration was 5-25 months (mean, 12.9 months). According to Campanacci grading, there were 2 patients of grade Ⅰ and 7 of grade Ⅱ. The 3D printing personalized prosthesis was designed based on the CT scanning and 3D reconstruction prepared before operation. All patients were treated with the tumor resection and 3D printing personalized prosthesis reconstruction. The radiological examination was taken to observe the tumor recurrence and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society 1993 (MSTS93) score was used to evaluate the knee function.ResultsAll operations were successful and all incisions healed by first intention without early complications. All patients were followed up 24-40 months (mean, 31.2 months). At last follow-up, no complication such as pain, pathological fracture, prosthesis loosening, or tumor recurrence occurred. The MSTS93 score was 20-29 (mean, 24.7). The knee function was rated as excellent in 6 cases and good in 3 cases, with the excellent and good rate of 100%. ConclusionFor giant cell tumor of bone around knee joint, 3D printing personalized prosthesis has the advantages of bio-fusion with host bone, mechanical stability, good joint function, and ideal short-term effectiveness. But the middle- and long-term effectiveness still need to be further observed.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term effectiveness of vascularized fibula flap in radiocarpal joint reconstruction following excision of Campanacci grade Ⅲ giant cell tumor (GCT) of distal radius.MethodsBetween December 2010 and December 2014, 10 patients with Campanacci grade Ⅲ GCT of distal radius were treated with en bloc excision and inradiocarpal joint reconstruction using vascularized fibula flap. They were 6 males and 4 females, with an average age of 39.9 years (range, 22-65 years). The disease duration was 1.5-6.0 months (mean, 2.6 months). The length of distal radius defect was 6.0-12.5 cm (mean, 8.4 cm) after en bloc excision of GCT. Vascularized fibula flap with inferior lateral genicular vessels were performed in 6 patients and with inferior lateral genicular vessels and peroneal vessels in 4 cases.ResultsAll incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 4.4-8.3 years (mean, 6.0 years). There was no tumor recurrence during follow-up. At last follow-up, the mean ranges of motion of wrist joint were 55.0° (range, 25-85°) in extension, 26.5° (range, 15-40°) in flexion, 12.0° (range, 5-25°) in radial deviation, 19.6° (range, 10-30°) in ulnar deviation, 50.5° (range, 5-90°) in pronation, and 66.5° (range, 20-90°) in supination. The mean grip strength of effected wrist was 75% (range, 60%-85%) of the healthy wrist. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 82.7% (range, 75%-90%). X-ray films showed that the fibula flap healed at 12-16 weeks after operation (mean, 14.1 weeks) and there were 9 cases of radiological complications.ConclusionFor Campanacci grade Ⅲ GCT of distal radius, application of the vascularized fibula flap in radiocarpal joint reconstruction after en bloc excision of GCT can obtain good wrist function.
Objective To observe the effectiveness of wrist joint reconstruction with vascularized fibular head graft after resection of distal radius giant cell tumor. Methods Between March 2000 and March 2009, 31 cases of distal radius giant cell tumor were treated with extended resection and vascularized fibular head graft for repairing defects of the distal radius, and reconstructing wrist joint. There were 14 males and 17 females with an average age of 37.2 years (range, 15-42 years). The disease duration ranged from 1 month to 2 years and 3 months with an average of 8 months. The size oftumor was 6.5 cm 3.5 cm-8.0 cm 4.5 cm. The range of motion (ROM) of wrist joint was as follows: extension 5-15° (mean, 10.7°), flexion 9-21° (mean, 14.2 ), radial incl ination 0-10 (mean, 8.6 ), and ulnar incl ination 0-15° (mean, 7.9°). The ROM of forearm was as follows: pronation 15-50 (mean, 28.7 ) and supination 10-25° (mean, 16.5°). The histopathological examination revealed that there were 5 cases of stage I, 17 of stage II, and 9 of stage III. Results All patients achieved primary heal ing of incision and were followed up 1-9 years with an average of 4.5 years. The X-ray films showed that bone heal ing time was 12-16 weeks with an average of 13 weeks. No tumors recurrence was observed. The ROM of wrist joint was as follows at 1 year after operation: extension 20-50 (mean, 29.0 ), flexion 30-50° (mean, 35.0°), radial incl ination 10-20° (mean, 16.5°), and ulnar incl ination 20-25 (mean, 23.5 ). The ROM of forearm was as follows: pronation 40-90° (mean, 68.3°) and supination 30-80 (mean, 59.6 ). There were significant differences in the ROM between before operation and after operation (P lt; 0.05). According to the Krimmer et al wrist score, the results were excellent in 17 cases, good in 12, and fair in 2. Conclusion Wrist joint reconstruction with vascularized fibular head graft can restore function of wrist joint. The operation is proved to be safe and effective in treating distal radius giant cell tumor.
Objective To discuss the definition of complicated giant cell tumor of the bone and retrospectively analyze the treatment protocols and their therapeutic results so as to provide a clinical basis for reducing the postoperative recurrence of this kind of tumor. Methods From April 2001 to April 2005, 22patients (11 males and 11 females, aged 15-66 years) with complicated giant cell tumor of the bone were treated by the marginal or wide excision. The tumor was located in the distal femur in 10 patients, the proximal tibia in 5, theproximal femur in 2, the proximal humerus in 2, the hip bone in 2, and the distal radius in 1. The Campanicci′s grading system was used and the patients were grouped as follows: Grade Ⅱ in 4 patients, and Grade Ⅲ in 18. The functional results of the patients were assessed by the clinical examination. The reconstruction methods were used in the forms of osteoarticular allografting (14 patients) and total arthroplasty (8 patients). Results The analysis on the follow-up (6-48 months, averaged 23 months) of the 22 patients revealedthat the complicated factors were as follows: the tumor breaking through the cortex with an extraosseous mass; the tumor having pathologic fracture; the tumor representing more biologically-aggressive lesions; and the tumor having one or more local recurrences. Two patients (9%) had a local recurrence respectively 8 and 11 months after operation, but improved respectively by limb amputation and radiotherapy. Total arthroplasty achieved a better articular function than osteoarticular allografting. All the patients with osteoarticular allografts showed various degrees of the bone union of the allograft with the host bone. Conclusion The marginal or wide excision of this kind of complicated giant cell tumor of the bone combined withosteoarticular allograft or total arthroplasty can reduce the local recurrence of the tumor and achieve a certain degree of the articular motion function.
