Introduction
Giant cell tumours (GCBs) are locally aggressive osteolytic benign tumours characterized by multinucleated giant cells. Recurrence rates are high after curettage and less after resection. However, reconstruction of the middle finger with large bone gaps is difficult.
Case presentation
The author describe the case of a 30-year-old male who presented with massive right-hand swelling and had a wide bone gap after the resection of a giant cell tumor. Of the various treatment modalities of giant cell tumours, the author describe the surgical approach to which the patient has a good functional outcome to where he can pinch and grasp objects. At 12 months postoperatively, there was no evidence of recurrence.
Conclusion
In summary, at 12 months, the author describe an original case report of the Orthopaedics and oncology interest in which the patient had improved strength and range of motion and good joint stability. There were no signs of failure or malunion. Author have described an acceptable alternative to current methods of curettage and reconstruction. The author believe that this method combines the strengths of the other approaches to minimize the risk of tumor recurrence and restore joint function. And hence reporting this case for the purpose of its complexity and good outcome.
