Complete fibular regeneration following removal of the fibula for bone grafting.
Major bone defects may be reconstructed by either vascularized or not vascularized fibula grafts. No much attention is done so far to the donor site. This article emphasizes on an interesting observation, where almost total regeneration of a subperiosteally harvested fibula graft occurred within the first three postoperative months.
