A novel technique of reconstruction of the distal tibia using allograft after resection of giant cell tumor: A case report with literature review.
Foot 2023 May 9
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal tibia can result in significant bone loss and soft tissue compromise, which can present a challenge for reconstruction. Various techniques have been described for the reconstruction of large defects, including the use of allografts. In this article, we describe a novel technique of reconstruction of a large defect in the distal tibia using two femoral head allografts after resection of GCT. The technique involves using two femoral head allografts, which are shaped to fit the defect and secured with a locking plate and screws. Using this technique, we present a case report of a patient with GCT of the distal tibia who underwent resection and reconstruction. At the 18-month follow-up, the patient had good functional outcomes and no evidence of tumor recurrence. This technique offers a viable option for reconstructing large defects in the distal tibia after GCT resection, particularly in cases where autograft is not available or not feasible. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and complications associated with this technique.
