title: [Reconstruction of forearm function by fibular transfer with vascular anastomoses].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyse and report the reconstruction of forearm function by fibular transfer with vascular anastomoses.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fourteen cases of forearm function dismissed due to defects of bone were managed by fibular transfer with vascular anastomoses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All cases obtained satisfactory effects, and recovered their normal function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The vascularized fibular transfer is a good method to reconstruct the forearm function with defects of bone resulting from injury or tumor.
