case_images: Radiographs of the forearm and wrist demonstrated a large lytic lesion of the distal radius, suggestive of a giant cell tumour of bone (Figure 1).
case_images: Template of a predominantly titanium distal radius prosthesis with a cobalt-chrome articulating surface (and measurements taken from contralateral forearm radiographs).

case_images: Measurements for accurate manufacture of the implant were taken from radiographs of the contralateral forearm (Figure 2).
case_images: Radiographs of the distal forearm taken post-operatively at most recent follow-up, demonstrating the distal radial prosthesis and mild degenerative changes within the carpus.

case_images: Due to the position of the distal articular surface of the prosthesis in comparison to the more proximal ulna styloid, there was some ulna translation of the carpus but this had only produced mild degenerative changes of the carpal bones, present along with age-related osteopenia (Figure 3).
