Abstract
A report is presented on 4 years of experience with free vascularized bone transplants for extremity preservation and the postoperative mana gement developed in this connection. The succesful results so far were achieved not least by virtue of a strict unified postoperative treatm ent scheme extending from direct postoperative blood-flow monitoring t hrough the raising of a skin flap and angiographic control of anastomo sis patency to immobilization/mobilization and orthotic management. Th us far, 33 patients have been treated with free vascularized bone tran splants (20 fibula, 13 iliac crest grafts).
