Abstract
|
|
|
In 1975. vascularized fibular graft for the treatment of open fracture of tibia and fibula was first reported by Taylor with success in one patient. Later. in 1977 buncke reported using vascularized free rib to repair traumatic defect of the
tibia
and
mandible. In 1978. O Brien reported the advantages of the vascularized bone transfer and in our country. Lee, et al reported successful transfer of the vascularized osteocutaneous flap at 1983.
The vascularized fibular graft is ideal for bridging segmental defects in long bones, and heal at a rate comparable to normal bone and are not replaced by creeping substitution. In this article, one case of anterior transposition of the
vascularized
fibulas for the segmental efect of both tibias is reported.
Postoperative follow up showed successful unicn and hypertrophy of both transpositioned fibulas.
