Giant cell tumour (GCT) of the distal ulna: a rare presentation

Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Both reconstruction-stabilization techniques: simple tenodesis using the ECU tendon and modified Sauve-Kapandji operation resulted in reasonable range of pronosupination and preservation of some useful hand functions. However, to obtain a reasonably painless stable reconstruction with optimum range of pronosupination after sacrificing most of the extrinsic and intrinsic stabilizers of the DRUJ is something extraordinary if we are to account on the current knowledge on the importance of the DRUJ.
