Ulnar buttress arthroplasty for reconstruction after resection of the distal ulna for giant cell tumour.
A giant cell tumour of the distal end of the ulna was treated by en bloc resection. The resected distal end of the ulna was replaced by an iliac bone graft, preserving the triangular fibrocartilage complex. The wrist was pain-free and had a full range of motion 6 months postoperatively.
