A 10 year-old boy had a traumatic extrusion of 10 cm of the distal radius. The segment of bone was replaced after washing it with providine iodine solution and normal saline, autoclaving and dipping in gentamicin solution for 2 hour. At four and half year’s follow-up, there was complete incorporation of the segment with almost full functional recovery. We report this case for its rarity and discuss the treatment.

Key Words: extruded bone • povidine iodine • autoclaving • gentamicin solution
