Abstract In this article, four cases of free fibular osteocutaneous flap transfer are reported. The advantages of the bone‐attached flap, its microsurgical anatomy, and its design and method of isolation are discussed in detail. Postoperative follow‐up showed success in all four cases with satisfactory functional recovery.
