Abstract
Four cases of children with tibial defects due to osteomyelitis are presented. Tibialization of the fibula using postero-lateral cortico-cancellous bone grafting achieved a stable weight bearing limb in all four patients. The surgical technique employed should be within the skills of any tropical surgeon able to take a bone graft and expose the tibiofibular joints.
