title: Vascularized free radius transfer for clavicle reconstruction concurrent with below elbow amputation.
abstract: In the course of a below elbow amputation, forearm composite tissue that would routinely be discarded was used as a microvascular free-tissue transfer for distant reconstruction. The principle of "spare part" microsurgical reconstruction should routinely be considered during the planning of an ablative operation.
