Ulnius formation for forearm fracture with segmental radial defect.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One-bone forearm functions best when the proximal ulna and distal radius are present and joined (the ulnius). Six open forearm fractures accompanied by segmental radial defect were treated by the ulnius formation in a one-stage procedure. All patients had a stable and pain-free forearm, and were satisfied with the function and cosmetic appearance of the forearm.

Osteocutaneous radial forearm free flaps. The necessity of internal fixation of the donor-site defect to prevent pathological fracture.
BACKGROUND Osteocutaneous radial forearm free flaps have fallen from favor due to pathological fractures of the radius. The purposes of this study were to propose a means to decrease the rate of pathological fracture by prophylactic fixation of the donor-site defect and to evaluate this technique biomechanically. METHODS Two groups of ten matched pairs of fresh-frozen cadaveric radii were har...
