Abstract:
The reconstruction of long bone defects is surgically demanding. This report describes the femoral hemicallotasis with a half-segment for the reconstruction of a 6-cm partial cortical defect which resulted from a posttraumatic osteitis. The indications for this modified Ilizarov method, advantages, potential problems as well as alternative methods are discussed.
