Assessing long-term effects of fibular graft donor site
Official title: Long Term Evaluation Of Donor Site Morbidities After Free Vascularized Fibular Graft For Reconstruction Of Any Bone Defect Other Than In The Lower Limb
Run by Assiut University · NCT06324916 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how the leg where a bone graft was taken from feels and works years after the surgery, to see if there are any long-term problems compared to the other leg.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients over 18 years old who have undergone free vascularized fibular grafting for bone reconstruction more than two years ago.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who had surgery less than two years ago or those with lower limb defects or amputations will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the long-term donor site morbidity following free vascularized fibular grafting in patients who have undergone this procedure for bone reconstruction. The research focuses on comparing the donor leg's condition to the healthy contralateral leg to gather insights on complications such as wound healing and functional recovery. Patients who had the surgery more than two years ago and are over 18 years old will be included, while those with specific exclusions will be omitted. The study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding donor site outcomes associated with this surgical technique.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effects of fibular grafting, improving patient care and surgical outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited information on long-term donor site morbidity for this specific approach, similar studies have indicated the importance of understanding donor site outcomes.
