Massive segmental tibial bone loss from trauma, tumor, or infection is a limb-threatening situation. It is a considerable surgical challenge, especially when associated with extensive skin and soft tissue damage. Amputation was the only solution in the past, but current limb-salvage options include contralateral or ipsilateral microvascularized or free-fibular transfer. However, these methods are not without risks and disadvantages. We report seven patients with massive tibial bone loss treated by gradual medial transport of the ipsilateral fibula using an Ilizarov traction apparatus with olive wires after proximal and distal fibular osteotomies. This method has the advantages of avoiding surgery on the contralateral limb while allowing early weightbearing because of the stability of the Ilizarov frame. Hypertrophy of the transported fibula accompanied by full weightbearing and satisfactory joint motion occurred in all patients. All patients were satisfied with the results, and none thought amputation would have been a better treatment. The minimum followup was 5 years. We think the Ilizarov frame for ipsilateral fibular gradual transport is a reasonable alternative for limb salvage in patients with massive tibial bone loss. Therapeutic Study, Level IV (case series). See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
