Abstract:
We present an original technique for reconstruction of the distal fibula after tumor resection. The case report was of a 13-year old boy suffering from an osteogenic sarcoma of the distal fibula. Pedicled vascularized epiphyseal transfer using the ipsilateral proximal fibula was performed. Results were assessed at 2 years and 6 months and provided good stability and normal functional outcome of the ankle.
