Abstract Objects:Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) isa locally aggressive lesion with unpredictable behavior. Here, we aim to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, clinical and functional outcome of GCTB in a relatively large series of patients. Methods:Patients with the diagnosis of GCTB were included in this retrospective study.Surgical options included extended curettage wh...

Arrest of growth of the distal radius is rare but will produce deformity of the wrist. We corrected angular deformity and shortening of the distal radius by epiphysiolysis and gradual lengthening without a corrective osteotomy.

Volar fixed angle fixation may be considered as the beginning of a new era in restoring wrist function to patients with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures even in the face of comminuted or osteopenic bone. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the wrist is a prerequisite when volarly approaching dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. The demonstration of the device theoretical...

Fractures of the distal radius can be complex injuries, often generating multiple fragments with distortion of the normal anatomy in all three dimensions. Superficial assessment of the injury on the standard PA and lateral radiographs often can result in incomplete recognition of the injury pattern and a misdirected approach to treatment. In addition, failure to recognize subtle radiographic fi...

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common types of fractures. Although the pediatric and elderly populations are at greatest risk for this injury, distal radius fractures still have a significant impact on the health and well-being of young adults. Data from the past 40 years have documented a trend toward an overall increase in the prevalence of this injury in both the pediatric and e...

Arthroscopy has the advantage of providing a direct and accurate assessment of the articular surfaces and detecting the presence of injuries associated with distal radius fractures. Current indications, although numerous and potentially expanding, also are controversial. This report presents a global view of the current status of arthroscopy in the management of distal radius fractures. The rat...
