An infected diaphyseal forearm nonunion can be a challenge. After several failed salvage procedures, the patient can be left with residual pain, shortening, bone loss, and poor soft tissue envelope. Keystones for infected nonunion treatment are debridement, cultures, antibiotics, stability, and restore alignment. This report describes the current literature on the treatment of forearm nonunion, and we present a case of a recalcitrant infected ulna nonunion that ultimately healed after 12 surgeries.
感染性肱骨干前臂骨不连可能是一项挑战。经过多次挽救手术失败后,患者可能会遗留残余疼痛、短缩、骨质丢失以及软组织覆盖不佳等问题。治疗感染性骨不连的关键在于清创、培养、使用抗生素、保持稳定性以及恢复对线。本报告描述了当前关于前臂骨不连治疗的文献,并呈现了一例顽固性感染性尺骨骨不连病例,该病例最终在经历12次手术后实现愈合。
