✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The authors analyzed 14 patients with severe osteomyelitis of the upper extremity between 1985 and 1992, managed with the vascularized fibular graft. Eleven radii, two humeri and one ulna were reconstructed. Bone loss after resection ranged from 6 to 12 cm (mean 8.14 cm). Follow‐up ranged from 8 months to 7 years and 10 months (mean 3 years and 3 months). The therapeutic applications of the vascularized fibular graft in severe bone infections of the upper extremity were discussed and the good results of this surgical procedure established it as a good option for treatment. Morbidity at the donor site was minimal. Β© 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
