Summary
This study presents a treatment algorithm for traumatic segmental bone loss, guiding surgeons on optimal reconstruction techniques in the sub-acute phase. It emphasizes waiting for spontaneous bone formation before definitive treatment for better outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Trauma reconstruction
- Limb lengthening and reconstruction
Background:
- Segmental long bone defects pose significant reconstructive challenges.
- Current clinical guidance for managing these defects is limited.
- A treatment algorithm for sub-acute management was developed based on three case studies.
