Clinical and radiologic outcomes following resection of primary proximal fibula tumors: Proximal fibula resection outcomes

Abstract: Reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and biceps femoris tendon following proximal fibula resection is controversial. Postoperative knee instability and peroneal nerve dysfunction affect outcome. This study aimed to determine functional, clinical, and radiological outcomes of patients who underwent en bloc proximal fibula resections and to compare clinical and radiological instability rates for primary repair after type I and type II resections. Materials and Methods: Eleven patients with pri… Show more

“… 41 In type II resections, the biceps tendon and LCL are resected 2.5 cm proximal to their fibular attachment site, possibly complicating reattachment. 36 , 41 Attempts to revise the Malawer dichotomy have been proposed; Erler et al 9 and Dieckmann et al 8 endorsed supplementary resection techniques based on the tumor size and quantity of structures removed, respectively. Despite these proposed refinements, the Malawer criteria remain prevalent as foundational resection procedures.…”
