The location of the nutrient foramen is important if a free vascularized fibular graft is to include endosteal as well as periosteal blood supply. More than 300 human fibulae were examined to determine the number, location, and size of the foramina in the shaft. Six percent of the bones had no apparent foramen. Ninety-six percent of the foramina were in the middle third of the fibula. In Caucasians this segment of the shaft should be used for free vascularized fibular transfers to increase the likelihood of including the endosteal blood supply.
如果游离带血管腓骨移植要同时包含骨内膜和骨膜血供，那么滋养孔的位置就很重要。研究人员检查了300多根人体腓骨，以确定骨干中滋养孔的数量、位置和大小。6%的骨头没有明显的滋养孔。96%的滋养孔位于腓骨的中1/3段。对于高加索人，该段骨干应用于游离带血管腓骨移植，以增加包含骨内膜血供的可能性。
