Reconstruction of traumatic bone loss using the induced membrane technique: preliminary results about 11 cases.

Introduction: The use of Masquelet technique is a serious option to consider for biologic reconstruction of severe bone loss. Here is exposed a continuous and prospective study on bone loss management using that technique. The aims of this study were to assess epidemiology of bone loss due either to trauma or to non-unions and to give preliminary results.

To date, 14 cases of open anterior dislocation of the hip associated with such injuries, acetabular and femoral head fractures and femoral vascular and nerve damage have been reported. We present a case of a 23-year-old male who sustained open anterior dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture of the greater trochanter after an accident on the public highway.
