    Abstract

    Nine benign giant cell tumors of the lower end of the radius, resulting in arthrodesis of the wrist mostly because of failed curettage-filling treatment, have enabled the authors to describe a resection-arthrodesis technique which allows continued mobility in the medio-carpal joint in some cases. Because this reconstruction is fragile immediately after operation, it must be protected by a plaster cast or better still by an external fixation. The systematic resection of the distal end of the ulna enables subnormal pronosupination to be maintained.
