The surgical technique and results of treating post-traumatic radio-ulnar ankylosis in three patients are reviewed. In all cases, the treatment was excision of the cross-union and interposition of a pedicled vascularized adiposal graft, which included a couple of veins. The functional results were excellent, and there was no evidence of the regrowth of the synostosis in any patient after 13.7 months of follow-up.
