    Abstract:
    Chondrosarcoma is most frequently present in the pelvis and long bones and rarely seen in the bones of the hand. Traditionally the treatment of choice for involvment of the hand is ray amputation, however this causes significant functional deficit if there is thumb involvement. There are limited cases in literature of resection of thumb chondrosarcoma with restoration of function. We present a case of high grade chondrosarcoma of the first metacarpal treated with resection and free fibular graft reconstruction. We report excellent functional outcome with this procedure.
