We present three young men who sustained closed diaphyseal fracture of the tibia and later developed severe osteocutaneous necrosis induced by heat during intramedullary reaming. They all had a narrow medullary cavity and in all a tourniquet had been used. Each developed a pretibial cutaneous blister soon after operation. In the following month severe osteomyelitis ensued, requiring segmental resection and osteocutaneous reconstruction.

Between 1989 and 1994 we used a vascularised ipsilateral fibular graft in 24 patients with segmental tibial defects. We report 12 patients with a minimum follow-up of two years. The graft was either transposed medially or inverted on its vascular pedicle. Full weight-bearing was achieved at between four and seven months. We had few complications and consider that the use of this method is a valuable option in reconstruction of the tibia.
