Abstract
|
|
|
|
We present a patient with malunion of the ulna and radius, who experienced 2 consecutive healing failures after osteotomy of the ulnar malunion only. The purpose of the surgery was for cosmetic reasons. Healing was fi nally obtained when a seemingly minimal malunion of the radius was corrected as well. This case suggests concurrent correction of both bone forearm malunion may be required to ensure satisfactory healing.
