Reconstruction of the tibia by dual grafting: 3 cases of tumor resection

Abstract

Large defects of the tibia can be bridged with autologous cancellous grafts between the remaining fibula and a contralateral tibial cortical graft. the long-term results of this technique in 3 cases after resection of a malignant tumor were either excellent or fair. It is concluded that this technique is an effective limb-saving surgical procedure. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
