The technique perone pro tibia graft for the leg reconstruction was described for the first time at the end of the nineteen century. With the advancement of new techniques, for example, Masquelet induced membrane and distraction osteogenesis, the aforementioned procedure has been almost forgotten. There are several complications associated with the procedure including the fracture of the perone, nonunion and shortening of the lower limb.
