J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 2000 Apr;90(4):211-6. doi: 10.7547/87507315-90-4-211.

Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign tumor that is typically found in the metaphyseal ends of long tubular bones, such as the tibia. The authors describe a case of this neoplasm occurring in the foot. Treatment included complete resection with reconstruction using an autogenous fibular bone graft. The surgical technique and the advantages of using a fibular bone graft are discussed.
