Abstract
Loss of elbow function resulting from major bone loss negatively affects quality of life and leaves limited options for reconstruction and restoration of function. To overcome this disabling problem, we reconstructed the distal humerus of a child in a single stage using a scapular flap based on the angular branch of the thoracodorsal artery as a pedicled flap. We also reconstructed the proximal ulna using an iliac crest bone graft with dermal graft interposition arthroplasty, which enabled the restoration of useful elbow function.
