There are many techniques described to achieve consolidation in the nonunion of long bones, including morselized cancellous or structural non-vascularized bone graft, vascularized bone graft, or the induced-membrane technique. In 2018, Barrera-Ochoa described the anatomy of a vascularized ulnar periosteal flap based on the posterior interosseous vascular axis and showed his initial experience using it on children to treat a radius atrophic nonunion and bone defect secondary to the exeresis of an Ewing Sarcoma. We present our experience with a vascularized ulnar periosteal graft for the treatment of a recalcitrant nonunion of the radius shaft in an adult patient.

Keywords : Radius; nonunion; periosteal vascularized graft; induced- membrane technique.
