Suave-Kapandji Reconstruction After Excision of the Distal Ulna for Chondrosarcoma: A Case Report

An active, 62-year-old man presented with a nondisplaced pathological fracture through a low-grade, central chondrosarcoma of the distal ulnar diaphysis after minor trauma. After obtaining diagnostic imaging, the patient was successfully treated with marginal en-bloc resection of the right distal ulnar diaphysis and wrist reconstruction via a Sauve-Kapandji arthroplasty. Suave-Kapandji arthroplasty is an alternative reconstruction to complete the excision of the distal ulna following resection of the distal ulnar diaphysis.
