Wide bone resection is sometimes necessary for bone tumors, and reconstruction is a major challenge. Vascularized fibular graft is one alternative but may result in progressive limb-length discrepancy (LLD) in children with substantial growth left. Progressive distraction lengthening with an external fixator is now a standard procedure to generally correct LLD. However, lengthening of free vascularized fibular grafts for lower limb reconstruction has not been reported frequently and then only in small series or case reports. We report our experience with three patients with lengthening after tibial reconstruction with a free vascularized fibular graft and review the literature.
对于骨肿瘤,有时需要进行广泛的骨切除,而重建是一项重大挑战。带血管蒂腓骨移植是一种选择,但对于仍有大量生长潜力的儿童,可能会导致渐进性肢体长度差异(LLD)。使用外固定器进行渐进性牵张延长目前是普遍纠正LLD的标准方法。然而,用于下肢重建的游离带血管蒂腓骨移植延长术的报道并不常见,且仅见于小系列病例或病例报告。我们报告了3例采用游离带血管蒂腓骨移植进行胫骨重建后延长的经验,并对文献进行了综述。
