Vascularised Fibular Graft Reconstruction Following Resection of First Metatarsal Osteosarcoma: Case Report

Osteosarcoma of foot is a rare condition. Most common site of foot is calcaneum. Osteosarcoma of foot is usually not amenable to limb sparing surgery because of poor compartmentalization of tumour in the foot and subsequent need to amputate to achieve sound oncological margins. Vascularised fibular...

Sumario:Osteosarcoma of foot is a rare condition. Most common site of foot is calcaneum. Osteosarcoma of foot is usually not amenable to limb sparing surgery because of poor compartmentalization of tumour in the foot and subsequent need to amputate to achieve sound oncological margins. Vascularised fibular grafts have been recognised as an attractive choice for reconstruction. Here we present a case of osteosarcoma of first metatarsal treated by resection of tumour bearing first metatarsal and reconstruction with free vascularised fibular graft (FVFGs).
