title: [Reconstruction of bone defect by vascularized fibular transfer after failed wrist arthroplasty].
abstract: A bone defect of 14 cm resulted after wrist implant removal because of loosening in a 46-year-old patient. Performing wrist arthrodesis the defect was reconstructed by a vascularized fibular transfer. Solid bone fusion was complete in six weeks. Free function of the digits was seen because of length reconstruction.
