title: Giant cell tumour of bone: reconstruction of the index metacarpophalangeal joint with an osteochondral graft from the lateral femoral condyle.
abstract: We describe the successful reconstruction of the index finger metacarpophalangeal joint with an osteochondral autograft from the lateral femoral condyle following failed curettage and cementation of a giant cell tumour of the proximal phalanx base. At the 2-year follow-up, a good functional outcome was noted with 0-80° range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint and no clinical or radiographic evidence of tumour recurrence.
