Abstract
Vascularized fibular graft is a useful reconstructive procedure for long-bone defects after wide excision of musculoskeletal tumors. The method of fixation can be selected according to the situation; although times required for bone union are long, it is possible to prevent postoperative fractures by a combined approach with treated bone and/or double barrel fibular grafts.
