Abstract
Two patients with complicated giant cell tumors of the distal ulna wer e treated by resection of 7.5 and 5.5 cm of the ulna, respectively. Th e proximal ulnar stump was stabilized with a lasso tendon graft, which allowed the patients to return to presurgery activities. The techniqu e described is a modification of a tendon loop reconstruction used by Bunnell.
