Abstract
We demonstrate that the hemiarthroplasty procedure using the free fibula flap with its proximal head is a safe procedure with good functional results. Performing autologous arthroplasty using a free fibula head flap may be a promising alternative to an endoprosthesis or alloplastic reconstruction with a low risk of complications and morbidity.
