Abstract:
Gunshot injuries to the foot with segmental bone defects can be challenging to treat. When the vascularity is intact and the soft tissues allows, the goal should be to reconstruct the bony defect. We present 2 cases of a gunshot injury to the foot with a defect of the first metatarsal bone. Both cases were treated, with favorable outcome, with a structural iliac crest graft, internal fixation, and bone morphogenic protein 2.Level of Evidence: V, cases series, technical.
