Reconstruction of Bone Defects with Non-vascularized Fibular Graft
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: The most common problems involving the bone and soft tissues are bony defects caused due to fractures, infections, and tumors. These defects can be due to various causes such as post-traumatic bone loss, post-infective bone loss, and defect resulting due to excision of tumors. Aim: The aim is to study the outcome of reconstructing the bony defects due to removal of benign tumors with non-vascularized fibular graft. Methods: This is the prospective study conducted to determine the outcome of reconstruction of bony defects in benign tumors using non-vascularized fibular graft pre-operative workup was done to exclude metastatic tumors. Clinical and radiological review was done at periodical interval for all our patients. Result: Functional outcome was analyzed according to Mankin et al. criteria such as excellent - 18 cases, good - 5 cases, fair - 5 cases, and failed - 7 cases. Conclusions: Our overall experiences with non-vascularized fibular graft for reconstructing bony defects are encouraging; however, we are aware that this is a short-term study and would require further evaluation and more inputs.
