Intrapelvic Arthrodesis of a Tuberculous Hip-Joint by a Fibular Graft

Free Vascularized Fibular Graft for Distal Tibial and Ankle Arthrodesis

The free vascularized fibular graft (FVFG) to the tibia was first described by Taylor et al in 1975.1 Since then, the operation has evolved to include transfer of adjacentmuscle, and in 1983 Chen andYandescribedanosteocutaneousflap.2These advancements have provided a limb-sparing option to those patients once destined for amputation. Indications for these procedures now include trauma, chronic ...

Dual fibular allograft dowel technique for sacroiliac joint arthrodesis

STUDY DESIGN  Retrospective case series. OBJECTIVE  To assess fusion rates in patients with sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain following a minimally invasive technique using fibular dowel allograft. METHODS  Thirty-seven consecutive patients (mean age: 42.5 years [range, 23-63 years]) with SIJ pain treated with 38 minimally invasive elective SIJ arthrodeses were retrospectively reviewed using char...

Fibular Bone Graft for Nasal Septal Reconstruction: A Case Report

Although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates.  Conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. A 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. Patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. Rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal ...

Resection arthrodesis of the knee with a vascularised fibular graft. Medium- to long-term results.

We present the results in 12 patients of arthrodesis of the knee using a vascularised fibular graft after resection of a malignant bone tumour. At a mean follow-up of 95 months (60 to 178) all patients were free from disease although 11 had had at least one complication, with stress fracture of the graft in five patients, nonunion in two and deep infection requiring above-knee amputation in one...
