The Masquelet technique offers effective bone reconstruction and limb salvage, particularly for complex tibial defects. This case highlights its success in eradicating infection and restoring significant bone loss.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Bone reconstruction
Limb salvage

Background:

Bone defects from trauma, cancer, or infection necessitate amputation or reconstruction.
Limb salvage is preferred, utilizing techniques like grafting and distraction osteogenesis.
The Masquelet technique is an underreported method for bone reconstruction.

Observation:

A case involving a 17 cm diaphyseal tibial defect with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
The Masquelet technique was employed with a cage and nail construct.

Findings:

Successful eradication of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Reconstitution of the 17 cm diaphyseal bone defect.
Restoration of limb structure and function.
