Metacarpal reconstruction with a medial femoral condyle flap based on a 3D-printed model: a case report

Abstract

Metacarpal bone reconstruction renders a surgical challenge. We describe a case using 3D printing assisted medial femoral condyle flap for extensive metacarpal reconstruction after wide resection of a large giant cell tumor recurrence. Thus, the length and stability of the entire third ray could be restored without any tumor recurrence. (50 w)

Conjoined Free Fibula Transplantation and First Carpometacarpal Joint Prosthesis for Functional Thumb Reconstruction—A Case Report

“…Current options for the reconstruction of large metacarpal defects include the interposition of medial femoral condyle flaps with 14 or without 3-dimensional printed models, 15–17 nonvascularized fibular grafts, 18 fibular bone allografts, 19,20 nonvascularized metatarsal grafts, 21,22 and reverse radial artery bone flaps 23 . Combined defects of the carpometacarpal (CMC)-1 joint with loss of the trapezium and the first metacarpal have been reconstructed with medial femoral condyle flaps and arthrodesis 16 or suspension arthroplasty 24 .…”
