Background: Significant osseous defects or osteonecrosis, precipitated by open fractures, infections, or neoplastic conditions, represent infrequent yet critical medical conditions. The free vascularized fibular graft (FVFG) is a challenging but straightforward, reliable surgical intervention for the reconstruction of defects across various anatomical regions. This study aims to compare, quantify, and demonstrate the FVFG's versatility.

The spindle cell tumor is a variant of sarcomatoid carcinoma that mostly affects the oral cavity. Bone involvement in this tumor leads to a wide excision, which sometimes requires resection of both the maxilla and mandible. The maxilla and mandible are important bones that function to form the 3-dimensional dimensions of the facial bones.

Background: Over the past few decades, fibular grafts have been widely utilized across 86 countries and regions globally for surgical reconstruction of various anatomical sites, including the mandible, upper extremities, lower extremities, spine, and in phalloplasty procedures. The present study aims to systematically investigate the developmental trajectory of fibular graft and identify research priorities for surgeons.

Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted by searching the Web of Science Core Collection on April 12, 2024, for articles published between 2004 and 2023 on fibular grafting, using the query TS = ("graft" OR "transfer" OR "flap") AND TS = ("fibular").

Introduction: Reconstructing long bone defects in the upper limbs, particularly the radius and ulna, poses significant challenges. These defects, resulting from trauma, tumors, infections, or congenital anomalies, require precise surgical intervention for functional restoration. Traditional non-vascularized autogenous bone grafts have limitations, such as resorption and limited biological activity.

Background: The surgical treatment of non-union of long bones are challenging especially when bones are osteoporotic or there is a large bone gap due to repeated surgeries and implant failures. Plate with intramedullary fibula provides a stable construct as fibula acts as a second implant with better anchorage and high pull-out strength. The aim of our study is to present our experience of treating complex non-union of long bones using compression plating (LCP/DCP) in combination with autologous non-vascularized fibular graft (ANVFG).
