Abstract:
Partial fibulectomy is widely used in fibula transplantation and the treatment of fibular tumor and injury. After follow-up surveys and biomechanical experiments, many authors believe it is important to pay attention to the postoperative complications in leg，which now still remains in dispute. For the first time finite element analysis is used to find out the mechanical characteristics of crural bone before and after partial fibulectomy. Our results show that resection would alter significantly the stress distribution in tibia, fibula and the medial & lateral parts of talus, so influent the ankle joint stability. Causes of postoperative complications were also discussed.
