[Radial bone reconstruction with free vascularized fibular osteocutaneous graft: a case report]

Radial shaft has been reconstructed in 14 years old boy with free vascularized graft. Fifteen by four cm skin island has been harvested along with the fibula and served to fill the defect within the forearm. Proximal end of radial artery has been microsurgically anastomosed to peroneal artery of the flap and peroneal vein branch with basilic vein. The bone healed after 3 months, remodeling took 5 months and overgrowth 8 months. The role of microsurgery in treatment for this type of injury has been emphasized.
