ABSTRACT
Excision of the lower end of the radius with centralisation of ulna was done in 3 patients with histology proved diagnosis of giant cell tumour, as secondary procedure in 2 cases following recurrence of tumour in the fibular graft, and as a primary procedure in one, where the segment of fibula required was more than 15.2 cm. After an average follow-up of 2.3 years, the results were assessed both subjectively and objectively. The patients were happy with their hand functions and were able to have more than 80% of the grip strength. They could return to their former occupation. There was no recurrence of tumour and no pain at the wrist.
