[Bifocal non-union of the forearm as of consequence of an open fracture type 3 B - a case report].

We present a 26-year old patient who suffered an accident while at work, his forearm being almost completely separated because of an electrical circular saw. Admitted at our hospital 8 hours after the accident occurred the forearm was temporarily stabilized by means of k-wires and the radial artery and vein as well as the median nerve were anastomosed.
