Pedicled Vascularised Fibular Grafting in a Flow-through Manner for Reconstruction of Infected Non-Union of the Tibia with Preservation of the Peroneal Artery: A Case Report

Abstract: We report on an 82-year-old man with an infected non-union of the right tibia in which the peroneal artery was the sole artery supplying the lower leg, owing to peripheral arterial disease. He underwent tibial reconstruction using the pedicled vascularised fibular graft in a flow-through manner (without ligation of either the proximal or distal ends of the peroneal artery) and achieved successful bony union.

“…This is due to its dimensions, mechanical strength and potential for hypertrophy, as well as its predictable vascular supply which can be pedicled within the ipsilateral limb. [74][75][76] Free vascularised bone grafts are relatively more technically challenging as the procedure involves microsurgical skills for the end-to-end anastomoses of both artery and vein at the recipient site.…”
