title: Vascularized bone transfer for tibial pseudarthrosis. Part II: Vascularized bone and muscle transfers. Exclusive free fibular bone graft.
abstract: The techniques of vascularized transfer of a bone segment, or of revascularization of a conventional bone autograft by a pedicle or a microsurgical muscular flap represent one of the most significant advances made during the last years for the treatment of large bone defects of the tibia with associated skin injury. The authors present their experience with 16 cases, including 5 microsurgical transfers.
