A patient that presented cubitus and radius septic pseudoarthrosis, bone defect greater than 6 cm, proximal radio-cubital luxation, loss of the finger extensors and conserved nervous function, was treated. A reconstruction of the forearm was performed in 2 times to form one bone of the forearm with vascularized fibular graft of 12 cm. Bone consolidation was attained 3 months after the operation.
