Free Vascularized Fibular Graft for Treatment of Segmental Ulnar Bone Loss: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Various methods, such as Illizarov bone transport, allogenic bone grafts, bone graft substitutes,vascularized bone transfers etc are available in treating segmental bone loss. Free vascularised fibular graft is an autografting method that requires expertise only. However, this method is not popularized due to its technical demand and there are not many reports regarding its application in treating a large segmental bone loss of forearm. We are reporting a case which was done in our institute to exhibit its possibility of effectively treating the long segmental bone loss of ulna. Patient recovered with gain of a good range of movement and there was no donor site morbidity after three months of follow up.
