Özet

Two patients with limited elbow motion due to tumoral calcinosis underwent resection of calcified masses around the elbow joints. This necessilated removal of the distal two thirds and three fourths of the biceps muscles. The resulting defects were reconstructed with homologous Achilles tendon grafts. Both patients regained M4 muscle power and no recurrences were observed.
