Outcomes of Free Vascularized Fibular Flaps for the Treatment of Radiation-Associated Femoral Nonunions

Nonunion is a known complication following fracture in the setting of radiotherapy. Free vascularized fibular (FVF) flaps have been used successfully in the treatment of segmental bone defects; however, their efficacy in treatment of radiated nonunions is limited. The purpose of the study was to evaluate outcome following FVFG for radiation-associated femoral fracture nonunions.Methods: 23 (11 male and 12 female; mean age 60±12 years) patients underwent FVF for radiation-associated femoral fracture...
