Formación de un solo hueso en el antebrazo / Formation of a single bone in the forearm

En 1921 se describió la formación de un solo hueso del antebrazo como un proceder de rescate para una pseudoartrosis en el radio distal. Se presentan dos casos con un defecto óseo significativo en el antebrazo, secundario a procesos sépticos, a los que se les realizó la técnica de "un solo hueso". A un paciente se le transfirió la diáfisis del cúbito proximal a la metáfisis distal del radio con fijación de la articulación radiocubital distal para garantizarle estabilidad a la muñeca. Al segundo caso se le fijó la metáfisis proximal del cubito con la diáfisis distal del radio. Ambos presentaron una evolución posoperatoria favorable, con recuperación funcional y estética de la extremidad(AU)

In 1921, the formation of a single forearm bone was described as a rescue procedure for a pseudoarthrosis in the distal radius. We present two cases with significant bone defect in the forearm, secondary to septic processes, to which the "single bone" technique was performed. A patient was transferred the diaphysis of the proximal ulna to the distal metaphysis of the radius with fixation of the distal radioulnar joint to ensure stability to the wrist. In the second case, the proximal metaphysis of the ulna was fixed with the distal diaphysis of the radius. Both patients had favorable postsurgical evolution, with functional and aesthetic recovery of their limb(AU)

One-Bone Forearm Procedure for Acquired Pseudoarthrosis of the Ulna Combined with Radial Head Dislocation in a Child: A Case with 20 Years Follow-Up

This report describes a 6 year-old boy who was treated with one-bone forearm procedure for acquired pseudoarthrosis of the ulna combined with radial head dislocation after radical ulna debridement for osteomyelitis. At more than 20 years of follow-up, the patient had a nearly full range of elbow movements with a few additional surgical procedures. Pronation and supination was restricted by 45degrees, but the patient had near-normal elbow and hand functions without the restriction of any daily living activity. This case shows that one-bone forearm formation is a reasonable option for forearm stability in longstanding pseudoarthrosis of the ulna with radial head dislocation in a child.

Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Ulna: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna is an extremely rare disease that is usually associated with neurofibromatosis. Various treatments have been introduced such as conservative treatment, nonvascularized bone graft, free vascularized fibular graft, one bone forearm procedure and the Ilizarov technique. However, it is difficult to obtain bone union. We report a case of pseudarthrosis of the distal ulna that was treated by a one bone forearm procedure.

Congenital Pseudarthroses of Both Bones of the Forearm Associated with Neurofibromatosis: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

The occurence of pseudarthroses associated with neurofibromatosis is a well documented phenomenon, with the majority of reported cases in the tibia but quite rare in forearm,Only ten cases in the English-literature and one case in Korean-literature of this lesion revealed appearing in the bones of the forearm till now. Of these, four in solitary pseudarthroses of the ulna(4.5.15), five in a solitary lesion of the radius(7.8.10.16.17), and only two cases was on the both bones of the forearm(9.14). We are presenting the case report of a Korean adult male with the clinical stigmata and a positive familial history of neurofibrormotosis who had congenital pseudarthroses of both the radius and ulna of the right forearm. Therefore, the present case is the third to be reported. We treated him with by production of an one-bone forearm using a dual a onlay bone graft positioned in neutral of supination and pronation. A stable, functional extremity with good union of pseudarthroses were encountered.

Reconstruction of traumatic deficiency of forearm bone: report of Two Cases / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Two cases of acquired absence of forearm bone secondary to compound comminuted fractures were treated by reconstructive surgery, which consist of surgical construction of one-bone forearm. The results of treatment were referred and the review of the literature was done concerning about surgical reconstruction of one-bone forearm.
