Background: During past decades, gradual bone transplant using external fixators and vascularized fibular or rib transplants widely contributed to solve difficult problems related to the reconstruction of large bone defects in children. However, these surgeries are time consuming and require specialized surgical skills, not always available in a general hospital setting, mainly in rural areas.
Purpose: To report the preliminary results of the more recently described induced membrane technique in a consecutive series of 8 children and to identify some factors related to the procedure's success.
