Summary
This study highlights the successful use of bone transport via distraction osteogenesis with a mini limb reconstruction system (LRS) external fixator for forearm bone defects. This method achieved excellent bone healing and functional recovery in a complex fracture case.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Bone Reconstruction
Background:
- Diaphyseal forearm bone defects present significant surgical challenges, often resulting from trauma, infection, or tumor resection.
- Restoring limb function and structural integrity in these defects requires advanced reconstructive techniques.
- Distraction osteogenesis, especially the Ilizarov technique, is favored for its benefits like soft tissue preservation and reduced infection risk.
