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. 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.Aim
