We report on an 82-year-old man with an infected non-union of the right tibia in which the peroneal artery was the sole artery supplying the lower leg, owing to peripheral arterial disease. He underwent tibial reconstruction using the pedicled vascularised fibular graft in a flow-through manner (without ligation of either the proximal or distal ends of the peroneal artery) and achieved successful bony union.
