Abstract
This paper presents the medium-term follow-up results (34 and 40 months, respectively) of two cases of recurrent giant cell tumour of the head of the second metacarpal, treated by marginal excision and reconstruction with a vascularised toe joint transfer. Both patients had painless, stable joints with excellent ranges of motion at the metacarpophalangeal joint of 80 degrees and 70 degrees , respectively, no degenerative changes and no recurrence of the tumours.
