Study on Radialisation of Ulna in Post Infective Gap Non Union Radius- A Viable Reconstruction Option

Background: Infected non of both forearm forearm is a rare complication but bears a brunt on patient
and surgeon’s skill. Specific management protocols are lacking as each case is dealt individually.
Case: A seven year old male was presented with elsewhere managed case of fracture both bone
forearm(L) with chief complaints of pain and high grade fever without discharging sinus. A two staged
procedure was planned first with external fixator application(JESS) and then followed by radialisation
of ulna.
Conclusions: Although this procedure leads to certain limitation of movements due to single bone
construct but provides acceptable functional status along with cost effectiveness.
