To report our early experience and suitability over unicortical fixation system to reduce and hold the bone fragments in position during a CHAOS procedure of the femur or tibia during lower limb reconstruction surgery. We report a case series of the first consecutive 10 patients (11 bones) for which this CHAOS technique was used between May 2017 and October 2019 by the same surgeon. The novel aspect of the procedure was the use of a unicortical device, Galaxy UNYCO (Orthofix, Verona, Italy), which eliminate the need for any change of fixation during the procedure. It also means the intramedullary canal was left free for the intramedullary nailing.Introduction
