Chondromyxoid fibroma of the distal fibula in a pediatric patient: a case report

Abstract

This case shows a rare tumor (chondromyxoid fibroma) in distal fibula in a pediatric patient who presented with local pain and tumescence. A final diagnosis was made only after the second operation, wherein the pathology was compared with CT imaging method and use of adjuvants.

Reconstructive surgery after distal fibular resection due to bone tumors: a technical report on surgical strategies and results from the PROSPERO international register of systematic reviews

“…A summary of patients treated with resection of the distal fibula and bone and soft tissue reconstruction is presented in Table 3 ( 9 , 10 , 13 , 18 , 20 , 31 , 35 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ). Resection of the distal fibula alters foot and ankle biomechanics ( 20 , 53 ).…”

“…In such cases, the use of reversed vascularized ipsilateral proximal fibula ( Fig. 6 ) ( 13 , 35 , 40 , 44 , 51 , 52 , 55 ), contralateral non-vascularized fibula transposition ( 18 ), sliding fibular graft ( 50 ), long bone graft from the iliac crest with periosteal flap for lateral ligaments reconstruction ( 54 ), fibula allograft ( 47 , 48 , 60 ), and homologous cortical grafts ( 49 ) were described. All these methods seem to have more or less satisfying functional outcomes.…”
