[Plastic surgical correction of defects of long tubular bone defects with free blood supplied autografts]

Treatment of the patients with long tubular bone defects is the difficult problem. At present the most widespread bone graft methods allow to achieve the result but not always satisfy physicians and patients. The use of revascularized bone autografts opens the new opportunities in the treatment of such patient category. Case records of 34 patients with long tubular bone large defects who underwent the bone graft with revascularized bone autograft were analyzed. Good and satisfactory anatomical and functional results were achieved (follow-up was up to 10 years), some complications and possible methods of their prevention were analyzed.
