Free fibular graft is the strongest autogenous bone graft available. It is the bone graft<br />

of choice when strength is needed. The chances of infection are nil as compared to<br />

allografts. Further more, free fibular grafts are permanent and cost effective and<br />

donar site morbidity is minimal. Functional results are excellent especially in children,<br />

We present a 10 year follow up of more than 100 cases of free fibular grafting in<br />

various sub specialities of Orthopaedics especially tumours, trauma, pediatrics etc.<br />

The analysis of the cases is under process and full abstract shall be submitted in due<br />

course.<br />
