Reconstruction after en-bloc resection can be challenging in cases of Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumour of the bone (GCTB) of the distal radius. Here, the authors examined the outcomes of patients with Campanacci grade 3 GCTBs of the distal radius who underwent wrist arthrodesis and reconstruction with ulnar translocation. This case series was a retrospective single-centre study. Clinical assessments regarding the functional status and complications were follow-up. The functional results were evaluated using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) and Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Score. Paired -tests were used to compare the MSTS and DASH scores separately before and after the operation. Statistical differences were considered significant at less than 0.05. Seven patients were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 14.43±8.08 months. The average length of tumour resection was 9.78±2.88 cm. The average range of motion of the involved forearm was 82.66° of supination and 81.54° of pronation. The average MSTS score was 11.71±2.21 before and 25.14±2.41 after the operation (
