ABSTRACT
Treatment of forearm nonunion associated with bone defects can be challenging. Restoring the correct length and rotation are two main principles for the management of these patients. Herein, we describe a patient with isolated radius nonunion already treated with an iliac crest autograft with no success. A free vascularized osteoseptocutaneous fibular autogenous graft was harvested as the final solution to managed long bone defect after previous multiple surgeries. At the 1- year follow-up, the patient gained full range of motion and was functioning well.
