Segmental defects of long bones are notoriously demanding and difficult to treat. We evaluate nine cases where the Masquelet induced membrane technique to substitute bone loss has been used.

Eight patients (nine injuries) operated between 2011 and 2014 were included. Four were infected. Outcome was time-to weight-bearing, consolidation, complications, bone grafting.Background:
