Ilizarov bone transport versus fibular graft for reconstruction of tibial bone defects in children

Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the results of treatment of segmental tibial defects in the pediatric age group using an Ilizarov external fixator versus a nonvascularized fibular bone graft. This study included 24 patients (age range from 5.5 to 15 years) with tibial bone defects: 13 patients were treated with bone transport (BT) and 11 patients were treated with a nonvascularized fibular graft (FG). The outcome parameters were bone results (union, deformity, infection, leg-length discrepancy) and functi… Show more

“…Currently, Ilizarov reconstructions, the Masquelet technique, vascularised and non-vascularised bone grafts and bone substitutes are the main methods to treat tibia defects [2,8,9,[17][18][19][20][21][22]. However, bone transfer is the preferred technique for the treatment of infected tibial bone defects [1,4,23,24].…”

“…The occurrence and progression of infectious bone defects of the tibia are often associated with severe wound infection, soft-tissue defects, vascular and nerve injuries, and joint dysfunction, rendering treatment difficult [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Most studies [1,2,[7][8][9] recommend the Ilizarov technique to repair tibial bone defects because it has several advantages. First, infection can be strictly controlled.…”
