Summary
The free osteofasciocutaneous fibular transplant is a direct development of the free fibular bone graft used from 1983 in reconstructive surgery of the long bones [1–3]. In 1989, Hidalgo [2] was the first to publish a method of reconstruction of the mandible by composite free fibular transplants. The aim of this study was to specify the anatomy of the osteofascio-cutaneous fibular graft and particularly of the vessels to the skin. The sensory innervation of this transplant is described.

Résumé
Le transplant libre ostéofascio-cutané de fibula est l'héritier élaboré du transplant libre osseux de fibula utilisé depuis 1973 en chirurgie reconstructive des os longs [1–3]. En 1989 Hidalgo [2] est le premier auteur à publier la reconstruction de la mandibule par transplants libres composés de fibula. Le but de ce travail est de préciser l'anatomie de ce transplant ostéofasciocutané de fibula et particulièrement les vaisseaux destinés à la peau. L'innervation sensitive de ce transplant est décrite.
