Abstract
- Nine patients who had undergone free fibula transfer were reviewed to determine the incidence of donor site complications. Problems identified included distal oedema, cold intolerance, sensory loss and weakness. However, the functional deficit was not great and most patients were not troubled by their symptoms. More serious potential complications from raising this flap are considered.
