A NEW METHOD OF SINGLE-STAGE ISLAND PLASTY BY TWO BONE AUTOGRAFTS WITH BLOOD SUPPLY IN PATIENTS WITH PSEUDOARTHROSIS OF BOTH FOREARM BONES

Abstract

The applied topographic-anatomic studies prepared in 14 fixed and 16 unfixed preparations of upper extremity allowed to precise the details of radius blood supply with reference to possibilities of formation of bone autografts with blood supply. Due to this fact the novel method of single-stage bone plasty for pseudoarthrosis of both forearm bones was developed and successfully approved in clinic. This method proposes the formation of two periosteal-cortical grafts with blood supply and small muscle cuff in distal and middle one-thirds of radius simultaneously.
