Summary
Managing forearm osteomyelitis sequelae, especially large bone defects causing nonunions, is challenging. This study details successful non-vascularized fibular grafting for a 16 cm ulna defect in a child, achieving good functional recovery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Bone Reconstruction
Background:
- Osteomyelitis sequelae in the forearm present significant management challenges.
- Bone resorption can lead to difficult-to-manage gap nonunions, particularly in pediatric cases.
- Large bone defects require innovative reconstructive strategies.

3.3K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
2.2K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...
