All patients achieved bony union within an average healing time of about 3.8 months.
Patients underwent a two-stage surgical approach combining vascularized fibular grafting and iliac cancellous bone grafting.
Completion of cortical bone formation occurred in four of the five patients within 7-8 months, indicating effective graft integration.
This method significantly reduces the need for large-volume cancellous bone grafts while enhancing functional recovery.
