Kallmann syndrome in three unrelated women and an association with femur-fibula-ulna dysostosis in one case.

We describe three unrelated women with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia; that is, Kallmann syndrome. Absence of olfactory bulbs and tracts and different degrees of asymmetric dysplasia of olfactory sulci were demonstrated by MRI. Both the father of Case 1 and the maternal aunt of Case 3 had anosmia, thus autosomal dominant inheritance seems to be likely. Patient 2 had Kallmann syndrome and FFU (femurfibula-ulna) dysostosis as a sporadic occurrence in her family.

The study and clinical application of the osteocutaneous flap of fibula.

In this article, four cases of free fibular osteocutaneous flap transfer are reported. The advantages of the bone-attached flap, its microsurgical anatomy, and its design and method of isolation are discussed in detail. Postoperative follow-up showed success in all four cases with satisfactory functional recovery.

Free vascularized fibula in traumatic long bone defects and in limb salvaging following tumor resection: comparative study.

In this retrospective analysis, we present our experience with two groups of patients who had long bone defects secondary to trauma or tumor resection and who were treated with a free vascularized fibular graft for skeletal reconstruction. Both groups were comparable in number and average age of patients, length of bone defect, and mean follow-up (average 3 years both groups). The number of surgical procedures prior to microvascular grafting was significantly higher for the traumatic defects. Primary bone union in a mean period of 6 months occurred at a higher rate in the tumor patients; the trauma patients had a significantly higher nonunion rate, which required multiple additional surgical procedures. The latter did not, significantly, improve the rate of success in the trauma group. Residual limb shortening was present in one-half of the patients with traumatic defects. On the basis of this review, it appears that the scarred and relatively avascular soft tissues surrounding the long bone defects secondary to trauma affect the course and the final outcome of the microvascular fibular grafting. A similar procedure applied for limb salvaging after tumor resection is better.

Treatment of femoral head necrosis with free vascularized fibula grafting: a preliminary report.

Since October 2000, 56 hips in 48 patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head were treated with free vascularized fibular transplants. The average follow-up was about 16 months. The Harris hip scores of all stages were improved during follow-up. Most femoral heads showed improvement (39 hips, 69.6%) or were at least unchanged (14 hips, 25.0%) on X-rays. The results show that a free vascularized fibular graft would be a valuable procedure for femoral head necrosis. By this method, we can avoid or delay progress of the disease, and improve the function of the hip and quality of life.
