The use of autogenous fat grafts as interpositional material to prevent the regrowth of bone is discussed. Four cases from a series of ten are presented to illustrate the use of autogenous fat grafts as an aid in preventing recurrence following surgical correction of growth deformities of the radius and ulna. Surgery consisted of removing a segment of ulna and filling the defect with an autogenous fat graft to prevent the ulna from reuniting. Partial ulnar ostectomy was combined with radial osteotomy when indicated.
