Reconstruction of Long Segmental Tibial Bone Defect Using the Bone Transport Compared to Acute Shortening and Re-lengthening : A Retrospective Study

Abstract: Background: Ilizarov technique has been widely used to salvage bone defects. However, treating large bone defects remains a challenge for surgeons. The aim of this study was to compare bone transport with acute shortening/re-lengthening in a series of large tibial segmental defects.Method: A total of 39 patients (29 males, 10 females) with large tibial segmental defects were treated with the Ilizarov technique (Group A: bone transport in 23 cases; Group B: acute shortening/re-lengthening 16 in cases) from Marc… Show more
