title: Nonvascularized fibular autograft to treat recurrent giant cell tumor of the distal radius.
abstract: We report a 22-year-follow-up of a giant cell tumor treated by en bloc excision of the distal radius and replacement with an autogenous fibular bone graft. There has been no recurrence of the tumor. The patient has a good functional result and is free of pain except with extremes of wrist motion.
