ABSTRACT
Introduction: Giant cell tumor of bone is one of the least frequent tumors and the local behavior is aggressive.Objective: To report a case with giant cell tumor treated with en bloc resection and arthrodesis of the wrist joint.
Case report: A relative healthy 29-year-old male patient had had increased volume and functional impotence when performing active flexor extension of the left wrist for 5 months, with progressive worsening. A giant cell bone tumor with marked stromal proliferative activity was diagnosed in the distal end of the radius. En bloc resection and arthrodesis of the distal end of the radius were performed with oncological margins and the transfer of the flexor radialis brevis to the common extensor and the palmaris minor to the extensor and abductor pollicis.
Conclusions: En bloc resection and arthrodesis is one of the options to consider in reconstructive surgery of the upper extremity with a satisfactory result.
