Vascularized Fibula Grafts for Reconstruction of Bone Defects after Resection of Bone Sarcomas
Figure 4
Resection of the proximal part of the femur because of Ewing’s sarcoma and reconstruction with a vascularized fibula graft including the proximal epiphysis (patient 2). X-rays taken 13.5 months postoperatively after the patient had sustained a fracture from falling while doing gymnastics at school (a), and with follow-up 2 months after the fracture (b). X-ray 3 years after insertion of the fibula graft; a proximal osteotomy has been performed because the fracture healed in an unfavourable position leading to an unstable hip joint (c).
