Limb salvage with microvascular free fibula following primary bone sarcoma resection

Abstract: Background:Extremity sarcomas are challenging to manage. Total eradication of tumour has to be balanced with restoration of limb function to prevent mortality and morbidity. Disease-free survival with maximum limb function is the ultimate goal in these patients.Materials and Methods:We present a series of ten cases of extremity malignancies, where limb salvage was attempted with microvascular free fibula for limb reconstruction from the period of 2008 to 2015.Results:Of the ten cases in the study, there were t… Show more

“… 27 In recent years, the treatment of residual limbs with vascularized fibula transplantation through a composite method of free fibula revascularization with anastomoses can provide better function and survival rate. 28 In terms of survival and function. The use of rotational plastic surgery technology and scalable end-point treatment can reduce the probability of postoperative complications.…”

“…8 In 2016, Parag et al published their article on limb salvage with free fibular flap (10 patients) following sarcoma excision, they included both upper and lower limb malignancies, average score in their series was 26. 9 In our series we had six patients of humerus reconstruction with free fibular osseous flap and our average score was 24.7. We did not find any statistical significance between sex and location of the tumor with the MSTS score.…”
