The aims of this study were to analyse the long-term outcome
of vascularised fibular graft (VFG) reconstruction after tumour
resection and to evaluate the usefulness of the method. We retrospectively reviewed 49 patients who had undergone resection
of a sarcoma and reconstruction using a VFG between 1988 and 2015.
Their mean follow-up was 98 months (5 to 317). Reconstruction was
with an osteochondral graft (n = 13), intercalary graft (n = 12),
inlay graft (n = 4), or resection arthrodesis (n = 20). We analysed
the oncological and functional outcome, and the rate of bony union
and complications.Aims
