Microwave-assisted intralesional curettage combined with other adjuvant methods for treatment of Campanacci III giant cell tumor of bone in distal radius: a multicenter clinical study. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1383247. [PMID: 38764573 PMCID: PMC11099234 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1383247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of microwave-assisted intralesional curettage(MAIC) with those of en bloc resection and autogenous fibular reconstruction (EBR-AFR) for treating grade III giant cell tumor of the bone (GCTB) of the distal radius and to elucidate the indications for wrist preservation surgery. Materials and methods In this retrospective study, 19 patients with grade III GCTB of the distal radius who underwent surgery at three medical institutions were included and categorized based on their surgical pattern. Seven patients underwent MAIC and internal fixation with bone cement (MAIC group) and 12 underwent EBR-AFR (EBR-AFR group). To evaluate the function of the affected limb postoperatively, wrist range of motion, grip strength, Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores were recorded. Results The follow-up time of the MAIC group was 73.57 ± 28.61 (36-116) months, with no recurrence or lung metastasis. In contrast, the follow-up time of the EBR-AFR group was 55.67 ± 28.74 (36-132) months, with 1 case of local recurrence (8.3%, 1/12) and 1 case of lung metastasis (8.3%, 1/12). The wrist flexion, extension, supination, pronation, grip strength were better in the MAIC group than in the EBR-AFR group. Although there was no statistically significant difference in the MSTS score between the two groups, it is noteworthy that the MAIC group exhibited significantly superior emotional acceptance and hand positioning compared to the EBR-AFR group(p < 0.05). Conclusion The functional outcomes of the MAIC group are better. The treatment strategy for grade III GCTB of the distal radius should be determined based on the specific preoperative imaging findings. Nevertheless, MAIC can be the preferred surgical approach for most patients with grade III GCTB of the distal radius, particularly for young patients.

Abstract
Curettage is recommended for the treatment of Campanacci stages 1-2 giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in the extremities, pelvis, sacrum, and spine, without preoperative denosumab treatment. In the distal femur, bone chips and plate fixation are utilized to reduce damage to the subchondral bone and prevent pathological fracture, respectively. For local recurrence, re-curettage may be utilized when feasible. En bloc resection is an option for very aggressive Campanacci stage 3 GCTB in the extremities, pelvis, sacrum, and spine, combined with 1-3 doses of preoperative denosumab treatment. Denosumab monotherapy once every 3 months is currently the standard strategy for inoperable patients and those with metastatic GCTB. However, in case of tumor growth, a possible malignant transformation should be considered. Zoledronic acid appears to be as effective as denosumab; nevertheless, it is a more cost-effective option. Therefore, zoledronic acid may be an alternative treatment option, particularly in developing countries. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for malignant GCTB.

Abstract
PURPOSE Wrist reconstruction after distal radial tumor resection poses a challenge to the orthopedic oncologist. We evaluated the functional outcomes of centralization of the ulna with ulnocarpal arthrodesis as a method of reconstruction following resection of distal radius tumors, using impairment measures and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS Evaluation of functional outcome was performed using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society 93 scoring system and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire. We also determined hand grip strength on the affected side, time to radiologic union at the ulnocarpal junction and reduction in wrist circumference. Local complications and oncologic outcomes were recorded. RESULTS The study included 26 patients with Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumor of the distal radius. Mean follow-up period in the study was 32.8 ± 12 months. Mean resection length was 10.3 ± 2.5 cm. Radiologic union at the ulnocarpal junction was achieved in 38.5%, 77% and 96% of the patients by 4, 5, and 6 months respectively. Mean hand grip strength was 74 ± 3.9% of the contralateral side whereas mean reduction in wrist circumference was 16.9 ± 6.4%. A good functional outcome with a mean the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society 93 score of 26 ± 1.4 and mean Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score of 10.5 ± 6.3 was observed. Fracture of the ulna, hardware loosening, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy were each noted in 1 patient, with an overall complication rate of 10.7% (3/28). No patient had nonunion, infection, or local recurrence. CONCLUSIONS This is a simple and effective modality of reconstruction after resection of distal radial tumors. It provides good functional outcome and preservation of good hand grip strength, with low complication rates. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic IV.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is most often treated with intralesional curettage; however, periarticular lesions have been shown to increase risk for osteoarthritis. Additionally, the location of these lesions may occasionally preclude a joint-sparing procedure in recurrent tumors. This study sought to investigate rates of secondary arthroplasty in long-term follow-up of knee GCTB. Cases of knee GCTB treated at our institution were reviewed. Rates of recurrence and secondary arthroplasty were recorded, and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed. The records of 40 patients were reviewed. Local recurrence occurred in 25% of patients. The 1-, 5-, and 10-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) probability was 87.4% (95% CI, 77.0-97.7), 72.4% (95% CI, 57.6-87.2), and 72.4% (95% CI, 57.6-87.2), respectively. Function improved after surgery with a mean preoperative MSTS score of 14.9 (standard deviation [SD] 8.4) and mean postoperative MSTS score of 25.1 (SD 5.6) (p <0.001). Three patients had evidence of radiographic osteoarthritis at the last follow-up though they did not require arthroplasty. Arthroplasty was performed as a secondary procedure in six patients. Five patients underwent arthroplasty for recurrent tumors after initial treatment with curettage and one patient underwent patellar arthroplasty for osteoarthritis after initial treatment with an allograft composite arthroplasty. Arthroplasty is performed as a secondary procedure in patients with GCTB at a relatively infrequent rate and more often for cases of recurrent disease than for osteoarthritis. Overall, patients treated for GCTB have improved functional outcomes after surgery than before. Large, multi-institutional studies may be required to assess the incidence of secondary osteoarthritis requiring arthroplasty as this was an infrequent finding in our cohort.

Abstract
Background The distal radius is the most common location for giant cell tumors (GCT) in the upper extremity. Treatment should balance the goals of maximizing function and minimizing recurrence and other complications. Given the complexity in surgical treatment, various techniques have been described without clear standards of treatment. Objectives The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of evaluation of patients presenting with GCT of the distal radius, discuss management, and provide an updated summary on outcomes of treatment options. Conclusion Surgical treatment should consider tumor Grade, involvement of the articular surface, and patient-specific factors. Options include intralesional curettage and en bloc resection with reconstruction. Within reconstruction techniques, radiocarpal joint preserving and sparing procedures can be considered. Campanacci Grade 1 tumors can be successfully treated with joint preserving procedures, whereas for Campanacci Grade 3 tumors consideration should be given to joint resection to prevent recurrence. Treatment of Campanacci Grade 2 tumors is debated in the literature. Intralesional curettage and adjuvants can successfully treat cases where the articular surface can be preserved, while en-bloc resection should be used in cases where the articular surface cannot undergo aggressive curettage. A variety of reconstructive techniques are used for cases needing resection, with no clear gold standard. Joint sparing procedures preserve motion at the wrist joint, whereas joint sacrificing procedures preserve grip strength. Choice of reconstructive procedure should be made based on patient-specific factors, considering relative functional outcomes, complications, and recurrence rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prosthetic reconstruction after resecting giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) of the distal radius has been proposed. However, this is generally associated with various complications. To improve the functional outcomes, we designed a three-dimensional (3D)-printed uncemented endoprosthesis. Meanwhile, using finite-element analysis and clinical observation, an optimization strategy was explored. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with Campanacci III or recurrent GCTB of the distal radius who underwent 3D-printed uncemented endoprosthesis reconstruction. Clinically, according to the different palmar tilts of the endoprosthesis, patients were divided into the biological angle (BA) group and the zero-degree (ZD) group. We recorded and evaluated the differences in functional outcomes and complications between the two groups. Biomechanically, four 3D finite-element models (normal and customized endoprostheses with three different implemented palmar tilts) were developed. RESULTS We analyzed 22 patients (12 males and 10 females). The median follow-up period was 60 (range, 19-82) months. Of the 22 patients, 11 patients were included in the BA group and the remaining 11 patients were in the ZD group. Both groups showed no significant differences in the range of motion, Mayo score, and disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand scores postoperatively. The subluxation rate was significantly lower in the ZD group than in the BA group. The biomechanical results showed similar stress and displacement distribution patterns in the normal and prosthetic reconstruction models. Additionally, the endoprosthesis with 0° palmar tilt showed better biomechanical performance. CONCLUSION 3D-printed uncemented endoprosthesis provides acceptable midterm outcomes in patients undergoing distal radius reconstruction. Optimizing the design by decreasing the palmar tilt may be beneficial for decreasing the risk of wrist joint subluxation.

Abstract
Giant-cell tumor (GCT) is often more aggressive when located in the distal radius, and wide resection is then the gold-standard. No single reconstruction protocol is recommended, and the technique depends upon the surgeon's preferences. The aim of the present review was to determine the recurrence rate of GTC of the distal radius after intralesional treatment, to assess the results, advantages and complications of the various surgical techniques, and to draw up a decision-tree for surgical indications. The review of literature was performed in the main healthcare databases, searching for studies that reported results of wide resection and reconstruction of distal radius GCT. Local recurrence rates, metastasis rates, reconstruction techniques and respective results and complications were evaluated and analyzed. Sixteen studies were selected, for a total population of 226 patients; 6.0% and 0.9% experienced local recurrence and lung metastasis, respectively. Arthroplasty with non-vascularized or vascularized ipsilateral fibula were the most common techniques and were associated with the highest satisfaction rates: 86.4% and 88.0%, respectively. Arthroplasty with allograft presented a MusculoSkeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score of 79.2% and arthroplasty with custom-made prosthesis presented an MSTS score of 81.8%. Arthrodesis was performed in 46 cases, with an MSTS score of 82.7%. Arthroplasty techniques are the most common in literature; they are used in patients who wish to conserve joint motion. Reconstruction with non-vascularized fibula seems to provide the best results, with lower morbidity. Arthrodesis is usually reserved for heavy manual workers or in case of arthroplasty failure.

Abstract
Purpose Primary aim of this review was to compare the two treatment modalities-curettage and wide excision (WE)- of Giant cell tumours of distal radius along with the methods of reconstruction viz. arthrodesis (AD) and arthroplasty (AP), and determine which had a better outcome. Methods PubMed and Cochrane library databases were systematically searched using a well-defined search strategy by two independent reviewers. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were predetermined using the PICO format. MINORS tool was used to evaluate study quality. Recurrence rate (RR) was the chief oncological determinant whereas range of motion, grip strength, disability of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) and musculoskeletal tumour society (MSTS) scores and complication rates were the functional outcome measures used. Results For the first part, a total of 11 articles (284 patients) were analysed. The second half- AP versus AD-included four studies (71 patients). Quantitative analysis revealed a significantly higher RR (Odds ratio (OR) 8.6 [95% CI, 3.4, 21.75]) with curettage. WE, on the other hand, was associated with a higher complication rate (OR 0.3[ 95% CI, 0.14, 0.62]) and lower grip strength (Standard Mean Difference (SMD) 18.08[95% CI, 13.78, 22.37]). Complication rates were also significantly higher with wrist AP (OR 6.36[ 95% CI, 1.72, 23.52]). Remaining functional parameters failed to show any significant difference between either group. Conclusion WE is the preferred surgical strategy in terms of lower RR and functionally equivalent results. In terms of the choice of reconstruction following WE, there is a trend towards higher patient satisfaction after wrist AD.

Abstract
Aims Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) treatment changed since the introduction of denosumab from purely surgical towards a multidisciplinary approach, with recent concerns of higher recurrence rates after denosumab. We evaluated oncological, surgical, and functional outcomes for distal radius GCTB, with a critically appraised systematic literature review. Methods We included 76 patients with distal radius GCTB in three sarcoma centres (1990 to 2019). Median follow-up was 8.8 years (2 to 23). Seven patients underwent curettage, 38 curettage with adjuvants, and 31 resection; 20 had denosumab. Results Recurrence rate was 71% (5/7) after curettage, 32% (12/38) after curettage with adjuvants, and 6% (2/31) after resection. Median time to recurrence was 17 months (4 to 77). Recurrences were treated with curettage with adjuvants (11), resection (six), or curettage (two). Overall, 84% (38/45) was cured after one to thee intralesional procedures. Seven patients had 12 months neoadjuvant denosumab (5 to 15) and sixmonths adjuvant denosumab; two recurred (29%). Twelve patients had six months neoadjuvant denosumab (4 to 10); five recurred (42%). Two had pulmonary metastases (2.6%), both stable after denosumab. Complication rate was 18% (14/76, with 11 requiring surgery). At follow-up, median MusculoSkeletal Tumour Society score was 28 (18 to 30), median Short Form-36 Health Survey was 86 (41 to 95), and median Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand was 7.8 (0 to 58). Conclusion Distal radius GCTB treatment might deviate from general GCTB treatment because of complexity of wrist anatomy and function. Novel insights on surgical treatment are presented in this multicentre study and systematic review. Intralesional surgery resulted in high recurrence-rate for distal radius GCTB, also with additional denosumab. The large majority of patients however, were cured after repeated curettage.

Reconstruction of the distal radius using a double-barrel vascularized fibula flap: a case series. HAND SURGERY & REHABILITATION 2021; 41:189-193. [PMID: 34959005 DOI: 10.1016/j.hansur.2021.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Treatment of distal radius tumor sometimes requires sacrificing the epiphysis. We propose adding to currently available reconstruction options a technique using a double-barrel vascularized fibula flap fixed distally to the first carpal row, conserving midcarpal mobility. We monitored 4 cases of Campanacci III giant-cell tumor and 2 cases of osteosarcoma. After en-bloc tumor resection, a double-barrel vascularized fibula flap was lodged distally in the scaphoid and lunate and proximally in the radius. Follow-up was clinical and radiological, using DASH, PRWE and MSTS functional scores. At a median 3 years' follow-up, there were no cases of recurrence or non-union. Median ranges of motion were 23° flexion, 28° extension, 90° pronation and 62° supination. Median grip strength proportional to the contralateral side was 67%. Median DASH and PRWE functional scores were respectively 13.7 and 17 points. Median MSTS was 83%. Although this technique is challenging, with difficulties in double-barrel flap placement and in pedicle plication, the double-barrel vascularized fibula flap provided a stable and mobile wrist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ten years ago, we reported the results of a procedure in which we translocated the ipsilateral ulna as a vascularized autograft to reconstruct defects of the distal radius after tumor resection, with excellent functional results. At that time, wrist arthrodesis was achieved by aligning the translocated ulna with the scapholunate area of the carpus and usually the third metacarpal. This resulted in wrist narrowing. We then wondered if aligning the translocated ulna with the scaphoid and the second metacarpal would result in ulnar deviation and thereby improve grip strength. We believed lateralization would reduce the wrist narrowing that occurs with fusion to the third metacarpal and would make the cosmesis more acceptable. We also modified the incision to dororadial to make the scar less visible and thus improve the cosmesis. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is there an objective improvement in grip strength and functional scores (Musculoskeletal Tumor Society [MSTS] and Mayo wrist) when the translocated ulna is lateralized and the wrist is fused with the translocated ulna and aligned with the second metacarpal versus when the translocated ulna is aligned with the third metacarpal? (2) Did lateralization caused by the wrist fusion aligned with the second metacarpal minimize wrist narrowing as measured by the circumference compared with the fusion aligned with the third metacarpal? METHODS From 2010 and 2018, we treated 40 patients with distal radius tumors at our institution, 30 of whom had a distal radius enbloc resection. Twenty-eight patients had an ipsilateral ulna translocation and wrist arthrodesis in which the radius and translocated ulna were aligned with either the second (n = 15) or the third (n = 13) metacarpals. Two patients in the second metacarpal group and three patients in the third metacarpal group were lost to follow-up before 24 months after surgery and were excluded. A retrospective analysis of 23 patients (20 with giant cell tumors and three with malignant bone tumors) included a review of radiographs and institutional tumor database for surgical and follow-up records to study oncologic (local disease recurrence), reconstruction (union of osteotomy junctions, implant breakage or graft fracture, and wrist circumference), and functional outcomes (MSTS and Mayo wrist scores and objective grip strength assessment compared with the contralateral side). The results were compared for each study group (second metacarpal versus third metacarpal). There was no difference in the incidence of local recurrence or the time to union between the two groups. There were no implant breakages or graft fractures noted in either group. RESULTS Patients in the second metacarpal group lost less grip strength compared with the unoperated side in the third metacarpal group (median 12% [range -30% to 35%] versus median 28% [15% to 42%], difference of medians 16%; p = 0.006). There were no between-group differences in terms of MSTS (median 30 [24 to 30] versus median 26.5 [22 to 30], difference of medians 3.5; p = 0.21) or Mayo wrist scores (median 83 [65 to 100] versus median 72 [50 to 90], difference of medians 11; p = 0.10). The second metacarpal group also had less wrist narrowing as seen from the median difference in circumference between the operated and unoperated wrists (median narrowing 10 mm [3 to 35 mm] in the second metacarpal group versus median 30 mm [15 to 35 mm] in the third metacarpal group, difference of medians 20 mm; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Wrist arthrodesis after ulna translocation with alignment of the translocated ulna and the second metacarpal provides a functional position with ulnar deviation that offers some improvement in grip strength but no improvement in the MSTS or Mayo scores. Radialization/lateralization of the translocated ulna achieved from the alignment with the second metacarpal decreases the reduction in the wrist circumference and therefore reduces wrist narrowing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Wrist reconstruction after en bloc resection of bone tumors of the distal radius has been a great challenge. Although many techniques have been used for the reconstruction of long bone defects following en bloc resection of the distal radius, the optimal reconstruction method remains controversial. This is the first review to systematically describe various reconstruction techniques. We not only discuss the indications, functional outcomes, and complications of these reconstruction techniques but also review the technical refinement strategies for improving the stability of the wrist joint. En bloc resection should be performed for Campanacci grade III giant cell tumors (GCT) as well as malignant tumors of the distal radius. However, wrist reconstruction after en bloc resection of the distal radius represents a great challenge. Although several surgical techniques, either achieving a stable wrist by arthrodesis or reconstructing a flexible wrist by arthroplasty, have been reported, the optimal reconstruction procedure remains controversial. The purpose of this review was to investigate which reconstruction methods might be the best option by analyzing the indications, techniques, limitations, and problems of different reconstruction methods. With the advancement of imaging, surgical techniques and materials, some reconstruction techniques have been further refined. Each of the techniques discussed in this review has its advantages and disadvantages. Wrist arthrodesis seems to be preferred over wrist arthroplasty in terms of grip strength and long‐term complications, while wrist arthroplasty seems to be superior to wrist arthrodesis in terms of wrist motion. All things considered, wrist arthroplasty with a vascularized fibular head autograft might be a good option because of better wrist function, acceptable grip strength, and a relatively lower complication rate. Moreover, wrist arthrodesis is still an option if the fibular head autograft reconstruction fails. Orthopaedic oncologists should familiarize themselves with the characteristics of each technique to select the most appropriate reconstruction method depending on each patient's situation.

Abstract
There are conflicting reports regarding the outcome and effect of denosumab for distal radius giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). The authors performed this study to evaluate the behavior of distal radius GCTB in relation to the type of treatment and the administration of denosumab. The files of 72 patients with distal radius GCTB treated from 1984 to 2018 were reviewed. Fourteen patients were administered denosumab. Surgical treatment consisted of curettage (25 patients) or resection (47 patients) and allograft or vascularized fibular head graft reconstruction. Median follow-up was 63.1 months (interquartile range [IQR], 35.5-107.1 months). The authors evaluated local recurrences, metastasis, function, and complications. The local recurrence rate was 30.6% at a median of 14.0 months (IQR, 10-19 months), with no difference between curettage and resection. The local recurrence rate was significantly higher in the patients who received denosumab. The metastasis rate was 9.7% at a median of 41.0 months (IQR, 15-114 months), with no difference regarding denosumab administration. Function was significantly better in patients after curettage. The complication rate was 25%; vascularized fibular graft reconstruction was associated with fewer complications. This study found that denosumab increases the risk of local recurrence after curettage, function is better after curettage, and vascularized fibular graft is the optimal reconstruction after resection of distal radius GCTB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal radius is third most common site for occurrence of Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone. Most of Campanacci grade II & III cases require resection. Reconstructions of these defect are challenging. Though fibular arthroplasty provides mobility at wrist but is fraught with complications of donor site morbidity and instability with wrist pain. Wrist arthrodesis with ulna translocation provides stable reconstruction but is cosmetically less appealing. We present a series of 12 cases of GCT of distal radius treated with short segment (6 cm or less) resections and wrist fusion with iliac crest grafting. We evaluated donor site morbidity, functional and oncological outcomes. OBJECTIVES To assess time to union, donor site morbidity, functional and oncological outcomes after wrist fusion with iliac crest bone grafting for distal radius resection (≤6 cm). METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed from a prospectively maintained database between January 2011 and December 2017, 12 patients (7 male and 5 female; 9 primary and 3 recurrent; all Campanacci grade III) were included. Mean age was 29 years (15-41 years) with mean resection length of 5.1 cm (4.5-6 cm). The dominant hand was involved in 6 patients. Time to union, donor site morbidity, functional and oncologiacal outcomes were evaluated. Functional outcomes were evaluated using Musculo-Skeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score. Grip strength and arc of forearm rotation were also evaluated. RESULTS All patients were available for analysis. No symptomatic donor site morbidity was observed. One patient had prominent implant following a fall and delayed union. Mean time to union for 22 osteotomy sites in rest of 11 patients (both proximal and distal) was 6 months (4-11 months). At median follow up of 45 months (18-78 months) 2 patients had soft tissue recurrence, 1 had a stable pulmonary metastasis. Local Recurrence rate was 17%. All patients returned to their pre surgery activity. Mean MSTS score was 25 (19-29) and PRWE score was 12 (6-28). Grip strength and Prono - supination measurements were available in 10 patients. Grip strength was 69% of non operated limb. Mean supination was 53° (0° to 80°) and mean protonation was 73° (40° to 80°). Mean arc of rotation was 126° (80° to 160°). CONCLUSION Reconstruction of distal radius bone defects with Iliac crest bone grafting and wrist arthrodesis retains prono-supination while maintaining wrist girth (cosmesis). The oncologic and functional outcomes make it an acceptable modality in selected cases of distal radius tumours with short resection length (≤6 cm).
