Vascularized proximal fibular epiphyseal transfer: two cases.

Vascularized proximal fibular epiphyseal transfer in children enables reconstruction of long-bone epiphyseal defect, while conserving axial growth potential. This technique was applied in two children for diaphyseal-epiphyseal reconstruction of the proximal humerus and distal radius respectively, using a graft vascularized only by the anterior tibial artery. There were no major complications during harvesting.
