Pseudarthrosis of the radius treated by free vascularised bone graft.
We report a case of pseudarthrosis of the radius successfully treated by free vascularised bone grafting. After a comprehensive review of the literature, we recommend this as the treatment of choice in this condition. We also report the use of callus distraction of an incorporated vascularised bone graft to achieve bone lengthening.
