Abstract

Abstract: Defects in long bones including tibia are still difficult problems in orthopaedic field for both the physician and the patient. We reported a case of a 56-year-old woman who came to the hospital with the chief complaint of being unable to walk since she was nine years old after getting a motorcycle accident. The patient complained that her leg did not grow since then. The patient was fully conscious and hemodynamically stable. Physical examination revealed that there was a deformity of the left lower leg with shortening of the lower leg and absence of the tibial bone. The patient was diagnosed with left tibia bone defect, therefore, above-the-knee amputation was performed. The amputation must be viewed as an opportunity to re-establish or enhance the patient’s functional level and facilitate a return to near normal locomotion using a prosthesis after amputation. Soft tissue and muscle quality, bone condition, neurovascular conditions and function of the limb can be considered in the selection of therapy in bone defect. The level of amputation can be determined by assessing the bone condition, neurovascular condition, and the ability of muscle and skin flaps to close the wound. In conclusion, amputation can be the treatment of choice for patient with bone defect. Improving lower limb function is proven to maximize the patient quality of life. Keywords: bone defect tibia; above-the-knee amputation; transfemoral amputation

Abstract

Abstract: Giant cell tumor (GCT) in the distal end of ulna is extremely uncommon. We report a woman aged 53 tahun with a lump in the left wrist for three years that grew gradually and slowly. Physical examination of the left forearm revealed a tumor sized 8x9x10 cm, distinct border, hard in palpable without pain. X-ray of the left forearm showed a mass with distinct margin, regular edge, expansively invaded the epiphysis associated with thinning of cortex of distal ulna indicating a GCT in distal ulna. The aim of treatment in this case was to prevent recurrency and to keep the function of left forearm and hand. Patient was treated with tumor excision and fibular bone graft. Excision was performed after ulnar osteotomy until its clear margin. Fibular osteotomy 10 cm length was carried out followed by fibular bone graft to replace the excised ulna. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a GCT. Patient was admitted for five days. Follow up after three months did not show any recurrency. Range of motion was within normal limit, and patient could do her daily activities. In conclusion, CGT in distal ulna treated with tumor excision until its clear margin followed by fibular bone graft showed satisfying result.

Kami melaporkan seorang perempuan berusia 53 tahun dengan benjolan di tangan kiri sejak tiga tahun yang membesar perlahan. Pada pemeriksaan fisik regio antebraki sinistra, didapatkan benjolan ukuran 8x9x10 cm, berbatas tegas, konsistensi keras, terfiksasi, tanpa disertai nyeri tekan. Rontgen manus sinistra memperlihatkan massa berbatas tegas, tepi reguler, mengenai epifisis ekspansif dengan penipisan korteks distal os ulna sinistra, kesan GCT distal os ulna sinistra. Tujuan terapi pada GCT untuk mencegah kekambuhan lokal dan menjaga fungsi anggota tubuh. Pasien diterapi dengan eksisi tumor dan fibular bone graft. Eksisi tumor dilakukan setelah osteotomi ulna hingga batas tulang yang sehat selanjutnya dilakukan osteotomi fibula sepanjang 10 cm dan dilakukan fibular bone graft menggantikan bagian ulna yang diangkat. Konfirmasi histopatologik sampel tumor menunjukkan interpretasi kesan giant cell tumor grade III.  Pasien dirawat selama lima hari. Hasil follow-up selama tiga bulan tidak menunjukan tanda-tanda rekurensi. Range of motion pasien saat kontrol dalam batas normal, dan pasien dapat mengerjakan aktivitas sehari-hari. Simpulan kasus ini ialah GCT pada tulang ulna dengan pilihan terapi eksisi tumor hingga batas tulang yang sehat, dilanjutkan dengan fibular bone graft berhasil memuaskan.
