This study assesses the long-term functional outcomes of upper extremity long bone defects treated with the free fibula bone transfer.
The study design entails a retrospective review of hospital records and a cross-sectional assessment using patient-reported outcome measures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability, complications and flap survival rate as well as the long-term functional and health-related quality of life results in patients with upper extremity long bone defect reconstructed using a microvascular fibula bone transfer.
