Abstract: Vascularized bone graft is a well-accepted technique when dealing with long defects. In this paper the author presents a case with a chronically infected gap nonunion of the proximal ulna treated with a free vascularized fibular graft. Vascularized fibular graft is a reliable technique for reconstruction of bone defects of the forearm even in the presence of infection.
