Abstract:
Long bone osteomyelitis often results from serious open fractures or some closed fractures.Its treatment is a clinical difficultly in orthopaedics.Masquelet is a new strategy for bone reconstruction,validated by surgeons in their treatment of acute bone loss,bone tumor and bone infection.It is carried out in 2 stages.At the first stage,infection was eliminated by radical debridement and placement of antibiotic bone cement into the defect,which induces a pseudomembrane to facilitate the growth of bone graft.At the second stage,reconstruction of the bone defect is performed by bone grafting in the membrance after removal of the bone cement.The unique characteristics of this technique arouse more and more attention recently.Therefore,we would like to present a review about this Masquelet technique dealing with post-traumatic osteomyelitis of long bones.
