About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the new technique of cross-leg vascularized fibular graft for reconstruction of post-traumatic long tibial bone defects in terms of restoring normal anatomy and function of the traumatized limb in a series of cases admitted in Assiut University hospital, Orthopedics and trauma surgery department.
Eligibility criteria

Trial population
Cases who were presented to Assiut University Hospital, Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery department with big tibial bone defects ranging from 12 cm to 26 cm, associated with extensive soft tissue damage and poor ipsilateral blood supply confirmed by CT angiography and treated with cross-leg free vascularized fibular graft and are presented recently for achieving long term results assessment.
