Abstract:
The induced membrane technique is used for bone reconstruction. It is based on the osteoinductive properties of a membrane induced by the insertion of a PMMA cement spacer. We will describe a simple, cost-effective method in which the body of a syringe is used to facilitate the cement introduction, allow insertion of a regular spacer, contain the cement volume in the extension of the diaphysis and protect the underlying tissues from the exothermic reaction during PMMA polymerisation.
