Popis:	The resection of malignant tumors often poses the challenge of reconstruction. The objective of this reconstruction is the restoration of a function. We present the case of a chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the ulna in a 27-year-old patient. The resection sacrificed part of the ulna. The conservation of part of the olecrane allowed an innovative reconstruction to be carried out by bringing the radial head into contact with the humeral trochlea. The preservation of elbow function was satisfactory.
