Vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer for biological reconstruction of bone defects following resection in children with proximal humeral sarcoma
In conclusion, we assert that vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer provides a reliable and promising option for reconstruction in pediatric patients undergoing proximal humerus tumor resection surgery. Graft fractures were the most prevalent complication, emphasizing the importance of cautionary measures to prevent falls or trauma. However, further validation through increased case numbers and extended follow-up periods is necessary.
