Abstract:
A fit 26 year-old-man presented to our Department with an open fracture of the left tibial shaft (AO 42-C3). The fracture was initially treated with an External Fixator, which was replaced by an intramedullary Grosse Kempf nail after 4 months. In the following year he developed an atrophic non-union and we witnessed the increasing bone resorption at the fracture site which led to the nail breakage. An accurate CT pre-operative planning was made and a revision surgery was successfully performed: the broken nail was removed and intercalary allograft reconstruction was made, using a compressible intramedullary nail. Whereas in literature it is well described how intercalary allografts can be used to fill the massive diaphyseal defects after tumor resections, we assumed it could also be an adequate technique to treat a large bone defect at a non-union site.
