Aim

We present the greatest study of patients with proximal fibula resection. Moreover we describe a new classification system for tumour resection of the proximal fibula independent of the tumour dignity.

Method

In 57 patients the functional and clinical outcome was evaluated. The follow up ranged between 6 months and 22.2 years (median 7.2 years). Indicationfor surgery was in 10 cases benign tumours and in 47 cases malignant tumours. In 32 patients a resection of the peroneal with resulting peroneal palsy was necessary.
