Bone Transport Has Significant Advantages Over the Induced Membrane Technique for Tibial Bone Defects

Clinical Vignette:
A 32-year-old man is involved in motorcycle accident and sustained a Gustilo-Anderson type 3b open tibia shaft fracture. He underwent a debridement, nailing, and free flap by the plastic surgery team. After the debridement, there is a 6 cm mid-diaphyseal bone defect. Please debate whether the induced membrane technique or bone transport should be used to reconstruct the bone defect.
