Abstract
Vascularised fibula has been used to treat three patients with skin-bo ne defects of the foot following severe trauma. Similarity between fib ula and metatarsal bone is obvious and makes fibula an ideal choice in the replacement of defects in the first metatarsal. Depending on the size of soft tissue defects, different combinations of fibula-skin tra nsfer were used.
