This study introduces a novel reverse-flow vascularized fibular graft technique for tibial bone defects. The method successfully achieved bony union in two patients, offering advantages over traditional free vascularized fibular grafts.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascularized Bone Grafting

Background:

  • The reverse-flow island flap is a recent surgical concept.
  • Vascularized bone grafts are crucial for reconstructing large bone defects.

Observation:

  • A new method utilizing a reverse-flow vascularized fibular graft was applied to two patients with tibial pseudarthrosis and massive bone defects.
  • The peroneal artery and its accompanying veins were dissected proximally while maintaining distal continuity, and the fibula was grafted to the tibia.

Findings:

  • Bony union was achieved in both treated patients.
  • The reverse-flow technique demonstrated successful bone defect reconstruction.

Implications:

  • This technique offers potential advantages over the conventional free vascularized fibular graft.
