Background:

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. We discuss the method compared to other types of bone reconstruction and share our tips and tricks to reduce treatment time and improve patient comfort.

Method:

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