Abstract
22 years old male patient was victim of severe trauma of the left upper Limb causing multiple fractures of the clavicle, humerus, radius with large bone defect of the ulna. Soft tissues damage was also significant with section of median and ulnar nerve, radial artery, flexor tendons of the hand and fingers. Treatment consisted initially to realize excision of devitalised and contaminated tissues from the wound, obtain skeletal stabilization with restoration of the upper limb length, and exceed the cap of infection. Secondarily, the one bone forearm procedure was performed to recover maximum of function. One year and half after injury, the patient had full elbow flexion-extension with very satisfactory fingers mobility
