Healing time for a fibula fracture depends on the severity of the injury, but often takes around four to six weeks. During that time, the injured individual will likely need to take pain medication, rest the affected leg, and apply ice and heat to the fibula. While fibular fractures rarely...
In vascular grafts, it is known that most cells remain alive, the bone can remodel, and the graft and the recipient bone can integrate, as in fracture healing [4]. Although the iliac bone, scapula, femur, rib, and radius have been used successfully for upper extremity recon...
A fibula free flap is a procedure commonly used in reconstructive surgery to replace missing bone and soft tissue, often in mandibular or maxillofacial reconstruction following trauma, cancer resection, or congenital deformities. The procedure involves harvesting a segment of the fibula bone along with ...
A fibula fracture is a break in the fibula, one of the bones that makes up the lower leg. It's usually extremely painful and can...
Only extra‐articular, diaphyseal fracture were included in the study. Surgical data were collected. Time to bone healing and complications were reported as clinical outcomes. Results Sixty‐two patients were included in the study (27 in the AF group and 35 in the LF group). The average ...
This group of cases doesn't show any sign of infection, bone nonunion, malunion or epiphysis injury. And six patients have had their intramedullary nails taken out after six months. It can be concluded that ESIN is good for treating children's long diaphysis fracture which has difficulty ...
The first aim was to evaluate the bone union after the operation. The second aim was to evaluation the T2 mapping values postoperation. All MRI examinations were performed on a 3T scanner (Magnetom Verio, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) with a gradient strength of 45 mT/m using an ...
falls, sports injuries or overuse. Fractures of the fibula bone — the smaller of the two bones of the lower leg — can be minor hairline cracks or severe enough to interfere with your ability to bear weight and walk. Treatment for a fibula fracture depends on the severity of the injury....

In order to reduce the healing time of the fractured bone, we have considered optimising the geometrical shape of the existing osteosynthesis metallic plate, thus to fulfil two major functionalities, such as: implant's capacity to adapt on the bone surface and keeping the periosteum vascular ...
