Excerpt
The Masquelet-induced-membrane technique (commonly referred to as the Masquelet technique) is an emerging alternative surgical approach to bone transport of distraction osteogenesis for traumatic segmental long-bone defects [
3]. The Masquelet technique seems especially advantageous, since it calls for shorter periods of external fixation. The induced osteogenic membrane acts as a bioreactor producing both osteoinductive peptides and angiogenetic growth factors. Generally, surgeons can fill the well-vascularized envelope with autologous morcellized bone graft. The defect healing also requires maintenance of adequate mechanical stability. …
