Distal Radius Reconstruction Using Proximal Non-vascularized Fibula Graft in a Patient During the Syrian Conflict: A Case Study of Treatment Outcomes.

ABSTRACT

In conflict zones like Syria, accessing specialized medical care presents significant challenges. Here, we present the case of a 22-year-old female with a giant cell tumor in her distal forearm, exacerbated by limited access to healthcare due to the Syrian conflict. Despite these obstacles, we successfully performed en bloc resection and reconstructed the defect with a proximal non-vascularized fibular graft, restoring arm function. This case underscores the critical importance of adapting to adverse circumstances to deliver essential medical interventions in conflict-affected regions.
