Fibulectomy for primary proximal fibular bone tumors: A functional and clinical outcome in 46 patients

Conclusions: With good reconstruction of lateral ligament we can achieve good results after proximal fibulectomy for benign as well as malignant tumor without much instability. With partial upper tibial resection (i.e., the extra-articular resection of proximal tibiofibular joint) adequate margins are feasible even in malignant tumors.
