One-Bone Forearm Reconstruction and Distal Radioulnar Joint Fusion for Emergency One-stage Operation in Traumatic Major Bone Defect of Forearm

The bony structure of the forearm consists of the ulna, radius and associated articulations radius. The length of the ulna and radius is critical to the proper function of the forearm [1] [2]. Due to the unique rotation function of the forearm, the treatment of ulnar and radius fractures should be considered as an intra-articular fracture, which requires anatomic reduction to restore normal function. Despite advances in microsurgical technology, the treatment of major bone defects in forearm caused by severe trauma remains a real challenge.
