Vascularized medial femoral condyle graft for nonunion after failed radiolunate arthrodesis

Abstract

Since the medial femoral condyle flap was originally described in 1989, the indications for use of this versatile flap as a graft have broadened. We used this procedure in a patient with nonunion after failed arthrodesis of the radiolunate joint. Early bone union was achieved, with marked postoperative improvement in VAS and DASH scores.
