Long-term follow-up of the one-bone forearm procedure

Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 2000 Dec;29(12):969-72.

Abstract

The one-bone forearm procedure can be a successful salvage option for forearm stability in selected patients and is indicated if instability and bone loss are irreparable by other means. We report a case of a dysfunctional arm secondary to radical débridement of the ulna after osteomyelitis treated successfully with a one-bone forearm procedure and followed up for 8 years.
