Popis: INTRODUCTION Periarticular bone loss in the upper extremity poses challenges for a functional reconstruction. CASE A 32-year-old man sustained an open elbow fracture-dislocation from a high-velocity gunshot resulting in significant bone and soft-tissue loss about the proximal ulna. He underwent bony reconstruction with the Masquelet technique and delayed interposition arthroplasty in an attempt to preserve function. CONCLUSIONS The Masquelet technique, coupled with interposition arthroplasty, may be used to address significant articular bony defects about the proximal ulna, allowing patients to maintain function and limit pain.
