[Treatment of an infected pseudoarthrosis defect by callotasis of the bone fragments]

The authors demonstrate a method of filling a large total bone defect caused by resection of the bone on account of chronic osteomyelitis. The defect was filled with a regenerate prepared by calotassis of the fragment which was distracted from the proximal part of the bone to its distal part. It proved thus possible to fill a 16 cm long defect. The cosmetic, anatomical and functional result is excellent.
