Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Pedicled bone transfers from the forearm and hand are effective for digit reconstruction. These techniques are simpler than free transfer methods due to a single surgical site and no need for microvascular sutures.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Hand Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Pedicled bone transfers from the forearm and hand have been widely employed for digit reconstruction over the past 30 years.
These methods offer an alternative to vascularized bone-free transfer techniques.

Observation:

The primary advantage of pedicled bone transfers lies in their simpler execution compared to free transfer methods.
This simplicity stems from the use of a single operative field and the elimination of the need for microvascular suture.

Findings:

The authors review the surgical techniques and indications for principal pedicled bone transfers used in digit reconstruction.
Clinical experience guides the discussion on the application of these forearm and hand-based bone grafts.

Implications:

Pedicled bone transfers represent a valuable and accessible option for complex digit reconstruction procedures.
Understanding the specific techniques and indications can optimize surgical outcomes in hand and digit repair.
