Abstract
SummaryWe 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.
