Abstract
Masquelet Induced Membrane Technique for The Surgical Treatment of Large Bone Defects: The Reasons for Successes and Failures
Highlights
Segmental bone loss can result from high-energy trauma, infection, tumor resection or revision surgery
Bone graft harvesting is generally performed in the iliac crest where up to 40 ml of graft material can be collected [2]
Another bone graft source is the reamerirrigator-aspirator (RIA) procedure consisting in a simultaneous reaming of the medullary canal of the long bones and a combined irrigation- aspiration system to collect bone marrow and bony fragments into a closed suction bag [3]
Summary
Segmental bone loss can result from high-energy trauma, infection, tumor resection or revision surgery. 2 major reports reviewed the success/failure of the IMT performed in 69 children [18] and 427 adult [19] patients to address critical size bone defects.
