The reconstruction of bone losses in the forearm is a real therapeutic challenge in routine practice. When all chances of limb reconstruction seem exhausted, amputation is often proposed. The technique of bone reconstruction in the forearm by radialization of the ulna, also called ulnarization of the radius described by Hey Groves, is a better rescue alternative. We report the results of ulna radialization in two patients treated in Niger, in a context of high prevalence of bone complications of sickle cell disease. This technique is a good alternative to amputation, with acceptable functional results allowing the patient to integrate socio-professionally activities.
