Hey Groves1 first
described the one-bone forearm in 1921, and subsequently several other studies
on the topic have been
published2-11.
The indications for one-bone forearm reconstruction include atraumatic
instability, previous bone tumor resection or congenital deformity (type-2
cases according to the system of Peterson et
al.3), or
posttraumatic lesions (type-1 cases). When chosen for the correct indication,
this reconstructive technique can provide a stable forearm with good
functional and cosmetic results as well as patient
satisfaction4.
