One-bone forearm.
Six patients with complicated forearm injuries with ununited fractures of the ulna and soft-tissue deficits, and one patient with the same deficit from infection, were treated by production of a one-bone forearm positioned in neutral of supination-pronation. A stable, functional extremity resulted in each patient and only mild complications were encountered.
