Interest of nailing associated with the Masquelet technique in reconstruction of bone defect.

Introduction: The Masquelet technique based on induced membrane is performed in two stages, first with generally an external fixator which is more and more relayed by an internal fixator. The aim of this study is to assess the results of stabilization by using intramedullary nailing from the first stage.

Patients And Methods: Nine patients were treated for a bone defect concerning 8 femurs and one tibia.

[Treatment of patients with extremity traumas occurred during peacekeeping missions in Northern Mali].

In February 2016, the camp of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), in Kidal, was attacked and many people were wounded and killed. This study aims to determine the nature of extremity traumas and to describe their treatment. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of extremity traumas in the victims of the attack on the camp of MINIUSMA in Kidal.

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.
