Abstract
Performing a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the presence of a previous fibular graft can be technically challenging and may be associated with complications. We describe a novel method of “en bloc extraction” of the fibular graft during THA to facilitate complete removal of the graft and adequate femoral preparation. This en bloc extraction technique is safe and effective for complete removal of fibular graft during THA performed in patients with non-vascularized fibula grafting for avascular necrosis.
