Compared to traditional fvbg, the lateral humeral epicondylar bone graft exhibits a higher union rate, fewer complications, and easier accessibility, making it a favorable choice. Conclusions the fvfg is an effective reconstruction technique, particularly in the cervicothoracic spine The use of free vascularised bone grafts is an infrequently performed surgical technique for the reconstruction of spinal defects This field of surgery brings many challenges concerning the choice. To provide an overview of the complication related to reconstruction by fvfbg, a narrative review is conducted to identify the complications including their types and rates, the contributing factors, the approaches to measure and the techniques to avoid. In this article, the surgical technique and outcomes of using the free vascularized fibula graft for the reconstruction of spinal defects following total en bloc spondylectomy are described
This reconstruction technique was deemed to be effective, particularly in the cervicothoracic spine.
