Abstract
Vascularized bone flaps from the descending genicular artery system are versatile and effective for the use of recalcitrant nonunions from the tubular bones of the hand to the long bones of the upper extremity. Familiarity with the vascular pedicle, various techniques of harvest and inset, and skin paddle harvest and application are essential for the reconstructive surgeon.
