Giant cell tumor
(
GCT
) remains as major health problem.
GCT
which located at the lower end of the radius tends to be more aggressive. Wide excision and reconstruction of the wrist in stage 3 of distal radius
GCT
lesion is an optimal modality to prevent tumor recurrence. However, dislocation often occurs as its complication. We are reporting patient with
GCT
of distal radius treated with wide excision and reconstruction using nonvascularized fibular graft and the addition of
hernia
mesh. Circumferential non-absorbable polypropylene
hernia
mesh was applied, covered radioulnar joint and volar aspect of radius, and served as additional support to prevent dislocation. During five years and two months of follow-up, we found no dislocation in our patient. Furthermore, good functional outcome was obtained. Our finding suggests that the addition of
hernia
mesh after wide excision and reconstruction with nonvascularized fibular graft may benefit to prevent dislocation and provides an excellent functional outcome.
