Abstract
This video reviews the technique of a vascularized fibula flap for pediatric tibia reconstruction. A 4-year-old boy with a history of a left tibial infected nonunion status after multiple debridements presented with segmental bone loss and difficulty with ambulation. An ipsilateral vascularized fibula flap was used for reconstruction. The patient proceeded to union and was independently ambulatory with bracing.
