title: [Free vascularized bone transplantation].
abstract: A report is presented on 4 years of experience with free vascularized bone transplants for extremity preservation and the postoperative management developed in this connection. The successful results so far were achieved not least by virtue of a strict unified postoperative treatment scheme extending from direct postoperative blood-flow monitoring through the raising of a skin flap and angiographic control of anastomosis patency to immobilization/mobilization and orthotic management. Thus far, 33 patients have been treated with free vascularized bone transplants (20 fibula, 13 iliac crest grafts).
