Abstract
Five patients with a malignant giant-cell tumor involving the distal end of the radius were treated successfully by wide resection and reconstruction of the radius with a vascularized fibular transplant. This technique has the great advantage of early bone union at the host-graft junction and enables the patient to regain limb function early, with preservation of near-normal appearance of the limb.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
