Key Words Fibular regeneration; Non-vascularized fibular graft; Ankle valgus deformity; Periosteal preservation; Donor-site morbidity
Core Tip Fibular regeneration following non-vascularized fibular graft harvest in children is common when the periosteal sleeve is preserved, with most cases achieving continuity within six months. This prospective study demonstrates that successful regeneration is associated with a substantially lower incidence of ankle valgus deformity, highlighting its protective role in maintaining lateral ankle stability. However, regeneration is not universal, and valgus deformity may occur despite regeneration, emphasizing the need for meticulous surgical technique, preservation of the periosteum, and serial postoperative surveillance of the donor site.
