Clawtoe deformity following vascularized fibula graft.
The free vascularized fibula graft has been an increasingly useful tool in orthopaedic surgery. In addition to its many applications, the reported low donor site morbidity has helped make this a popular treatment modality. Isolated flexor hallucis longus flexion contracture has been reported in the literature; however, multiple ipsilateral clawtoe deformity has not been reported. We describe two cases of multiple clawtoe deformity following ipsilateral harvest of a free vascularized fibula graft.
