Evaluation of Performance of Single Bone Forearm as A Salvage Procedure in Different Clinical Scenarios – A Short Case Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients frequently present with deformity of forearm with bone loss in either of the forearm bones due to various reasons. In this study two children suffering from chronic osteomyelitis and one having neglected Monteggia fracture were selected. In all three cases, single bone forearm reconstruction by radioulnar fusion was attempted successfully. Cosmetic and functional outcomes were evaluated and were satisfactory. Single bone forearm is a safe and effective salvage procedure in deformity of forearm with significant bone loss in different clinical scenarios not amenable to usual reconstructive techniques. This procedure also results in satisfactory range of motion with performance of normal daily activities, hand function and cosmetic value.
