Abstract:
A particularly short traumatic amputated forearm finally led to a simplified under-elbow prosthesis after a long surgical program including: 1) A progressive 8 cm ulnar lengthening with a Wagner device; 2) and a secondary groin flap resurfacing the distal stump. Complications essentially concerned the ulnar lengthening particularly because of a weak osseous callus. Final aesthetic and functional results are satisfying with a 6 years follow-up.
