Free non-vascularized fibular strut bone graft for treatment of post-traumatic lower extremity large bone loss

Abstract: Post-traumatic large bone defects of more than 4 cm occur sometimes in open lower extremity fractures. Management of this kind trauma can be a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. We have managed this kind of bone defect by the use of free non-vascularized fibular strut bone grafts (FNVFG) harvested subperiosteally and held by screw fixation of the strut ends to the ends of the bone defect. Ten patients, eight males and two females, with a mean age of 44 years (range 26-76 years) underwent this procedure. The len… Show more

“…In order to prevent intraoperative problems during fibular harvest, it is important to preserve at least 5 to 6 cm of the proximal and the distal parts of the fibula [12, 14]. Retaining the distal fibula can prevent adverse effects on the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the ankle joint [15]. In addition, we feel that the biological approach for harvesting long free nonvascularized fibular graft as proposed by Mukherjee et al reduces donor site morbidity and is safer than conventional approach [8].…”

“…The associated use of autograft has been proposed as an osteogenic stimulus with good results reported [4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 15]. Those authors describe the use of cancellous bone graft for augmentation of the fibular graft and speeding up the healing process.…”
