Abstract

Free vascularized thin corticoperiosteal grafts and small periosteal bone grafts harvested from the supracondylar region of the femur are described. These grafts are nourished from the articular branch of the descending genicular artery and vein. Unlike currently used vascularized bone grafts, this graft can be successfully harvested with disturbing the vascularity. Thin corticoperiosteal grafts consist of periosteum with a thin layer of outer cortical bone and include the cambium layer, which has a better osteogenic capacity. This graft is elastic and readily conforms to the recipient bed configuration. Thin corticoperiosteal grafts were used for fracture nonunion of the long bone with smaller bone defect and to treat forty‐six patients with avascular necrosis of the body of the talus, scaphoid, and lunate bone.

We retrospectively studied four patients who were treated with vascularized iliac bone graft for reconstruction of the tibia. The average length of the graft was 9.8 cm. The follow-up period was 11-18 years (average, 14.8 years). Although two of them were osteomyelitis, no recurrence occurred. We al

## Abstract We present the case of a 22‐year‐old woman with an aneurysmal cyst of the right proximal radius, treated by resection and a free bone graft (microvascular fibular transfer), without recurrence after 4 years. Over a 4 month period, there was a rapidly expanding and lytic lesion found in
