COMPOSITE TRANSPLANTATION OF DOUBLE VASCULARIZED LONG SEGMENTS OF TIBULA IN THE REPAIR OF A HUGE BONY DEFECT RESULTED FROM EXCISION OF BONE TUMOR / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

In order to reconstruct a bone defect as a result of a complete excision of osteofibromatosis with pathological fracture of an extremity, free transplantation of double vascularized long fibula segments was performed in 4 cases of osteofibroas hyperplasia with fracture. After a follow up of 1～2years, the grafted fibula attained a good bony union, and the limbs regained normal length and function. This seems to be an ideal way to repair huge bone defects as a result of excision of bone tumor of extremities.
