Outcomes of patients with single-bone-forearm surgery: a clinical assessment and three-dimensional motion analysis

The creation of a single-bone-forearm is a salvage procedure to stabilize the forearm. The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes and how these patients compensate for the lack of forearm rotation. We evaluated four patients (three children, one adult) who had undergone single-bone-forearm surgery. Patients were examined clinically and with three-dimensional motion analysis. We found these patients are generally capable to...
