  • Title: Corrective valgus osteotomy after free vascularized fibula transfer for the treatment of osteomyelitis at the neck of the femur: case report.
    Author: Nakamasu M, Ishida O, Ichikawa M, Yasunaga Y, Ikuta Y, Ochi M.
    Journal: J Reconstr Microsurg; 2004 May; 20(4):307-9; discussion 310. PubMed ID: 15095167.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction using a free vascularized fibula was performed on a long bony defect after osteomyelitis of the proximal femur. For this type of bone defect, a double-barrel fibular graft is recommended. The authors used this procedure for a 58-year-old male who had osteomyelitis of the left proximal femur. As osteotomy through a transplanted fibula can be safely performed, abduction osteotomy should be considered when coxa vara remains after reconstruction with a free vascularized fibula transfer.
