ABSTRACT
Traumatic absence of the entire radial shaft in children has not been reported though there are a few reports of adult cases. We report a 5-year-old boy with traumatic absence of the entire right radial shaft. The Define's reconstruction procedure was chosen to localize the surgery only to the distal forearm and avoid further additional damage to the forearm muscles. The child's forearm was successfully reconstructed by the authors' modified Define's procedure, which was followed until his maturity. Hand function was well maintained.
