In two prospective studies at the Clinic for Plastic Surgery and Burns and Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery of the Military Medical Academy in the period from 1991 to 1996 we performed 47 transplantations of the vascularized fibular graft in order to compensate bone defects of the long bones and mandibular inflicted by war wounding. The importance of the length of the vascular pedicle preparation for the total success was pointed out as well as the immobilization of the elbow region for the compensation of the defects of the upper arm and forearm and total healing of the mandibular for the later functional rehabilitation. The realized primary efficiency of 70.2% and total successfulness of 93.6% indicated that at the compensation on of bone defects the etiology of war wound could be compared to the etiology of malignant tumors resection and trauma.
