Reconstruction of a bone defect, following resection of chondrosarcoma in the distal forearm by segment transport over nail technique using uniplanar fixator

Abstract

The reconstruction of forearm defects after tumor excision is one of the most challenging cases for orthopedic surgeons. The complex anatomy and high mobility of the region require personalized approaches, and the results usually include serious function loss. We present a patient with a distal radius mass, where the forearm was reconstructed with bone transport and wrist fusion.
