Summary
Vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer can reconstruct long bone defects in children, preserving growth potential. While successful for the humerus, distal radius reconstruction showed limited growth, necessitating further intervention.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Pediatric bone reconstruction
- Vascularized tissue transfer
Background:
- Reconstruction of long bone epiphyseal defects in children presents challenges in preserving axial growth.
- Vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer offers a potential solution for complex bone defects.
