Abstract
Osteomyelitic sequelae in forearm pose challenges in management. Bone resorption leading to gap nonunions is further difficult to manage. We present a case of post-osteomyelitic ulna defect of 16 cm in a 6-year-old boy managed by non-vascularized fibular grafting with simultaneous correction of radius deformity and its functional outcome after 1 year.
