The authors report their experience of femoral reconstruction by free fibular graft transfer. Twenty eight patients were operated on between 1977 and 1988. The average follow-up was 7 years and 3 months. The etiology of most of the cases was a post traumatic lesion (70 per cent). Loss of substance was found in 19 cases. 60 per cent of these were septic. The approach was usually posterior and vessels from the sciatic nerve were used. Union was obtained in 89 per cent of the cases. In 65 per cent of the cases union occurred in less than 1 year. In 1 out of 4 cases graft thickening was necessary and achieved by secondary bone grafts. The comparison of this technique with standard treatments evidenced a definite superiority of vascularized bone grafts in cases of septic pseudarthrosis and significant losses of bone. |
