Abstract:
Objective To examine the clinical efficacy of the trans-fibular anterior surgical approach for non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) of the distal tibia.
Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 19 patients with NOF of the distal tibia that were treated through the anterior fibular approach from January 2021 to August 2022 at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University. The surgical time and intraoperative blood loss were calculated, and postoperative limb function was evaluated using scores for pain and ankle joint function.
Results All 19 patients underwent surgical resection using a trans-fibular anterior approach by the same surgeon, with an operation time of (59.2±16.8) min , intraoperative blood loss of (33.7±25.6) mL, postoperative visual analog scale score of 0.5±0.6, and postoperative ankle function score of 98.4±3.7.
Conclusions The treatment of NOF of the distal tibia through the trans-fibular anterior approach is a safe and effective surgical method with a simple surgical technique, short duration, minimal intraoperative blood loss, and low risk of nerve injury.
