Incorporation of Allogenous Fibular Graft in Pediatric Humerus following Segmental Resection

Allogenic bone grafts are used to fill bone defects following tumor resection. We report a case treated by segmental resection of humerus and allogenous bone grafting at five years of age and followed up till skeletal maturity. Five year male child with recurrent fibrous dysplasia of left humerus was treated with excision and allogenic non vascularised fibular grafting. The graft has incorporated well at five years follow up and remodeled to the contour of the bone subsequently, at fourteen years follow up patient is disease free with normal range of movements with shortening. Incorporation and remodeling of the allograft in the paediatric patients is discussed.
