AI Article Synopsis
- A ten-year-old patient experienced soft tissue and bone damage in the tibia due to osteomyelitis.
- After surgical excision and stabilization using an Ilizarov fixator, segment transportation was initiated.
- A novel approach was employed by using a metal cage as a space provider to prevent skin and soft tissue entrapment during the process, which was progressively shortened as healing occurred.
Article Abstract
We report of a ten year old patient with soft tissue damage and bone defect of the tibia as a sequel of osteomyelitis. After excision and stabilization with an Ilizarov fixateur segment transportation was started. In order to avoid skin and soft tissue entrapment in the docking region, we used a metal cage as a space provider, which was shortened as segment transportation progressed. To our knowledge this simple method has not been described so far.
