Single-Bone Forearm Salvage Procedure for a Child with Acquired Radial Clubhand in a Resource Limited Centre: A Case Report
Acquired radial clubhand deformity can be a consequence of large bone gap left by premature extensive radius osteomyelitis sequestrectomy. Single-bone forearm reconstruction is a salvage procedure when other motionpreserving techniques are not feasible. Here we present a child who developed rad...

| Summary: | Acquired radial clubhand deformity can be a consequence of
large bone gap left by premature extensive radius
osteomyelitis sequestrectomy. Single-bone forearm
reconstruction is a salvage procedure when other motionpreserving
techniques are not feasible. Here we present a
child who developed radial clubhand deformity after an
untimely sequestrectomy of radius diaphysis. In view of
limited microsurgical .expertise in our centre, single-bone
forearm procedure was done utilising simple Kirshner wires
to achieve radio-ulnar fusion. The procedure resulted in painfree
stable wrist, restoration of hand function and improved
cosmesis |
