Vascularity of the Proximal Fibula and Its Implications in Vascularized Epiphyseal Transfer: An Anatomical and High-Resolution Computed Tomographic Angiography Study

Abstract

The proximal fibula can be transferred using the inferior lateral genicular or anterior tibial artery because of the existing anastomosis. Factors including length of pedicle, potential for nerve injury, and diaphyseal portion to be harvested should be considered in the pedicle choice.
