    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Free vascularised bone grafts show promise for treating avascular necrosis of the femoral head and bone defects like non-unions and cysts. Further follow-up is needed for definitive conclusions on femoral head applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Avascular necrosis of the femoral head and significant bone defects pose challenges in orthopedic treatment.
    • Free vascularised bone grafting offers a potential solution for complex bone reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the application of free vascularised bone grafts in three distinct clinical scenarios.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of free fibular grafts for femoral head avascular necrosis.
    • To present the use of vascularised bone grafts for tibial defects and cystic bone lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Free fibular grafts were used in 19 cases of femoral head avascular necrosis, involving microvascular anastomosis.
    • Free vascularised iliac crest bone transfers were utilized for infected tibial non-unions with bone and soft tissue loss.

  • Free vascularised fibula grafts, with cancellous grafting, were applied to cystic defects and congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.

    • Main Results:

    • The operative technique for femoral head reconstruction is detailed.
    • The technique has been applied to young patients as an alternative to total hip replacement.
    • Applications for tibial defects and cystic lesions demonstrate the versatility of the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Free vascularised bone grafts are a viable option for complex orthopedic reconstructions.
    • While promising, the follow-up for femoral head applications is currently insufficient to draw definitive conclusions.
    • The technique shows potential for treating a range of bone pathologies, including avascular necrosis, non-unions, and cysts.
