title: Free vascularized fibular graft in the treatment of Salmonella typhi osteomyelitis of the distal radius.
abstract: The authors report a rare case of Salmonella typhi osteomyelitis involving the distal radius. The patient was treated successfully by wide resection and reconstruction of the distal radius with a vascularized fibular transfer. Local recurrence of infection did not occur. The free vascularized fibular graft is an effective procedure for the treatment of osteomyelitis of the distal radius.
