Background And Purpose: Vascularized fibular grafting following tumor resection is an essential treatment option in limb salvage surgery. We aimed to evaluate: (I) bone healing, (II) complications and reoperations, (III) limb salvage, and (IV) survival.
Methods: We present a retrospective evaluation of a national cohort comprising 27 patients.
Article Synopsis
- A 43-year-old man in Denmark experienced a rare soft tissue infection caused by the marine bacterium Shewanella algae following surgery for Haglund's heel.
- After his initial healing, he suffered an Achilles tendon rupture, leading to multiple surgical wound revisions due to delayed healing.
- A microbiology culture identified the infection, and with appropriate antibiotic treatment, the patient made a quick recovery.
