The Results of Vascularized-free Fibular Grafts in Complex Spinal Reconstruction

Abstract

Vascularized-free fibular grafts are effective in the treatment of complex spinal reconstruction after surgery for spinal tumors or osteomyelitis. The vascularized-free fibular graft adds structural support as well as living bone to the fusion site and is a reasonable alternative to nonvascularized grafts in locally compromised surgical beds.
