Abstract

Purpose Primary bone tumors of the fibula are rare. Distal fibular resection has a significant impact on ankle biomechanics and gait, possibly leading to complications such as ankle instability, valgus deformity, and degenerative changes. Question: Is there a need for reconstructive surgery after distal fibular resection, and what reconstructive procedures are available? Materials and methods The review is registered with the PROSPERO International Register of Systematic Reviews. Inclusion criteria consisted of all levels of evidence, human studies, patients of all ages and genders, publication in English, and resection of the distal portion of the fibula due to tumor pathology. The reviewers defined four different categories of interest by method of treatment. Additional articles of interest during full-text review were also added. Results The initial search resulted with a total of 2958 records. After screening, a total of 50 articles were included in the study. Articles were divided into ‘No reconstruction’, ‘Soft tissue reconstruction’, ‘Bone and soft tissue reconstruction’, and ‘Arthrodesis, arthroplasty or other reconstruction options’ groups. Conclusion Limb salvage surgery should be followed by reconstruction in order to avoid complications. Soft tissue reconstructions should always be considered to stabilize the joint after fibular resection. Bone reconstruction with reversed vascularized fibula is the preferred technique in young patients and in cases of bone defects more than 3 cm, while arthrodesis should be considered in adult patients. Whenever possible for oncologic reason, if a residual peroneal malleolus could be preserved, we prefer augmentation with a sliding ipsilateral fibular graft.
