Clinical Results of Free Auto-fibular Grafts in Fibrous Dysplasia

We report 13 cases of fibrous dysplasia treated by free auto-fibular grafts from 1990 to 1997. Their mean age was 16 years (ranging from 6 to 38 years). The mean follow-up period was 2 years and 10 months. The grafts of free auto-fibular cortical bone were used. The objectives of relief of pain and prevention of deformity were achieved in all 13 patients. 1 patient required an arthrodesis of the hip due to aseptic necrosis. None of the patients had important deformity and no one complained after the resection of the fibula.
