INTRODUCTION: Periarticular bone loss in the upper extremity poses challenges for a functional reconstruction. CASE: A 32-year-old man sustained an open elbow fracture-dislocation from a high-velocity gunshot resulting in significant bone and soft-tissue loss about the proximal ulna. He underwent bony reconstruction with the Masquelet technique and delayed interposition arthroplasty in an attempt to preserve function. CONCLUSIONS: The Masquelet technique, coupled with interposition arthroplasty, may be used to address significant articular bony defects about the proximal ulna, allowing patients to maintain function and limit pain.
