“…The induced membrane technique was the most frequent reconstruction strategy employed across all included papers. Seventeen publications, comprising 96 patients (30%), reported on the use of this modality [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. The majority of cases (n = 63, 66%) were post-osteomyelitis bone defects and stability was conferred using plate fixation in most cases (n = 84, 88%).…”

“…A total of 184 individuals across 31 publications underwent reconstruction of a defect of a single forearm bone [4,6,8,9,10,11,14,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,25,26,28,31,33,35,36,38,39,40,41,42,43,48] (Table 3). Bone transport and the induced membrane technique were employed to reconstruct defects with mean sizes of 44.3 mm and 46.8 mm respectively.…”

Injuries to the long bones of the upper limb resulting in bone defects are rare but potentially devastating. Literature on the management of these injuries is limited to case reports and small case series. The aim of this study was to collate the most recent published work on the management of upper limb bone defects to assist with evidence based management when confronted with these cases.Methods: Following a preliminary search that confirmed the paucity of literature and lack of comparative trials, a scoping review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was conducted. A literature search of major electronic databases was conducted to identify journal articles relating to the management of upper limb long bone defects published between 2010 and 2020.Results: A total of 46 publications reporting on the management of 341 patients were reviewed. Structural autograft, bone transport, one-bone forearm and the induced membrane technique were employed in an almost equal number of cases. The implemented strategies showed similar outcomes but different indications and complication profiles were observed. Conclusion:Contemporary techniques for the management of post-traumatic upper limb bone defects all produce good results. Specific advantages, disadvantages and complications for each modality should be considered when deciding on which management strategy to employ for each specific patient, anatomical location, and defect size.
