OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term behavior of pedicled vascualrized fibula graft in reconstruction of middle and distal tibia defects following malignant tumor resection with particular emphasis on success in limb salvage and the specific late related complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1997 and 2006, 16 patients having malignant bone tumors of the middle t...

We report a technique of implantation of the ipsilateral vascularized fibula with pasteurized recycled bone after excision of tibia sarcoma in two cases. Plate and screws were used for osteosynthesis of the tibia or talus, vascularized fibula, and pasteurized bone. Microsurgery is not necessary for this reconstruction technique. Two patients who underwent this technique have obtained good funct...

Background Knee injuries encountered in clinical practice can involve avulsions of the biceps femoris from the fibula and proximal tibia. Advances in tendon repair methods now allow for repairs with increased surface areas using modern suture anchor techniques. Despite descriptions of repair techniques, there are no biomechanical studies on the biceps femoris for comparison. Purpose/Hypothesi...

This article continues the author’s paper The fibula production of Brigetio: clay moulds published in Dissertationes Archaeologicae 3.8 (2020). main aim this is presentation a model plus several semi-finished and waste fibulae from Brigetio, adding to our knowledge about archaeological site.
