Core Tip
Core Tip: This study presents preliminary outcomes and the protocol of a developed technology that includes phase 1 of the Masquelet technique for induced membrane generation and Ilizarov bone transport. The technology did not comprise bone grafting or skin flaps. It was used in 16 patients with post-traumatic tibial defects and congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT), after multiple failed treatments. The results were rated as good in patients with post-traumatic tibial defects. Congenital cases showed similar rates of pseudarthrosis union as other means currently used for CPT. Refractures may be expected in severe types of CPT after multiple previous treatments
