Salvage of a Fractured Proximal Ulnar Osteoarticular Allograft Using a Medial Femoral Condyle Free Flap: A Case Report.

Case Report
We present the case of a 47-year-old paraplegic woman who underwent resection of an intermediate-grade chondrosarcoma in the proximal ulna, which was initially reconstructed with an osteoarticular allograft. However, after more than 25 years without complications, she sustained an intra-articular fracture of the allograft, which was then successfully treated using a vascularized medial femoral condyle (MFC) flap and anterolateral thigh flap. The patient has subsequently recovered her baseline elbow function, has no pain, and can use her wheelchair without restrictions./r/nFree MFC flaps are viable options to salvage osteoarticular allografts that are affected by intra-articular fractures.
