COMPOUND UNICORTICAL BONE LOSS OF TIBIA TREATED WITH FIBULA AS STRUT GRAFT

Dr. G. Vara Prasad, Dr. P. Anil Babu

Abstract :

compound comminuted fractures of the lower limb are commonly associated with gross loss of soft tissues as well as bone. The nature of these injuries is such that the soft tissue planes after healing of the wounds are difficult to demarcate the tissues to rely on for further planning to use them to fill the soft tissue as well as bone defects. In poly trauma patients the choice for tissues is limited in bilateral limb injuries. Fibula has long been used to fill the bone defects as non vascularized as well as non vascularized graft in trauma and tumor treatment. The dimensions of the fibula make it an essential choice to fill the bone defects in long tubular diaphyseal defects.
