Two main concerns associated with proximal fibula resection are postoperative peroneal nerve palsy and knee instability. Multifragmentary suprasyndesmotic proximal fibular fractures combined with a medial lesion are classified as AO/OTA 44C3 fractures. 1). Because the nerve is already tethered by fascial bands at the proximal fibula…

Despite the risks of proximal fibula resection… On the outer side there is a regular cortical destruction with peripheral bone layer. There is an eccentric osteolytic lesion in the metaphysis of the proximal tibia. Lesions in the neck might make it harder to swallow or breathe. On the inner side there is a sclerotic margin. The proximal fibula is the most common area of the fibula to be affected by tumors, and osteosarcoma, giant cell tumors, chondrosarcoma, and aneurysmal bone cysts are the most common type of tumor to develop at this location . Resection of tumours in the proximal fibula can cause knee instability, peroneal palsy and in cases of local radiation therapy, a higher risk of delayed wound healing and fracture. Given the anatomic proximity of the common peroneal nerve, aggressive proximal fibula tumors with a substantial soft tissue mass may elevate and stretch the nerve (Fig. Malignant lesions on your spine can put pressure on nerves, causing a numbing or tingling sensation. These fractures occur with the foot in pronation when an … Although, most proximal fibular tumors …
