Results All cases were followed up from 13 months to 68 months, with an average of 38 months. 8 large femoral bone defects healed well, and could give enough support to the body. Conclusion The repairing of large femoral bone defects with vascularized two fibular compound transplantation combined with internal or external fixation had the advantage of fast-healing, good-support and high-achievement rate.
