Abstract:
Masquelet technique has become a safe and effective treatment for chronic osteomyelitis of the long limb shaft. The vast majority of osteomyelitis can be ultimately controlled, segmental bone defects repaired and limb functions restored. Accumulation of clinical applications and development of imaging technology have led to rapid progress in determining the infection scope of chronic limb osteomyelitis, precise preoperative design for repair of soft tissue defects, evaluation of bone structure stability, and use of bone grafting materials. This article reviews the progress of Masquelet technique in the treatment of chronic limb osteomyelitis from the aspects of its theoretical foundation, key operations, and selection of fixation methods, hoping to deepen the understanding of current Masquelet technique.
