Objective: Wide diaphyseal bone defects, above all those infected, encounter into Masquelet technique a suitable treatment. The two-step procedure allows the surgeon to eliminate the infected tissues and then to promote new bone formation. We analyzed the literature about the use of the induced membrane technique in osteomyelitis and the innovations recently suggested.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed some of the most common web databases using the key-words: Masquelet technique, induced membrane, and osteomyelitis. 66 studies were analyzed.
Results: Comparing the Masquelet technique to other surgical procedures it shows better functional results in large bone defects due to infection. The induced membrane is like a biological chamber that protects the autograft and induces new bone formation promoting growth factors secretion. Different authors tried to improve one or more steps of the surgical procedure. Some studies focused on polymethyl methacrylate role and the possibility to use different materials instead of cement to induce the membrane. Others analyzed the autograft harvesting and placing techniques trying to reduce the amount of bone essential to fill the gap, like the RIA technique. Moreover, bone substitutes have been used, as beta-tricalcium phosphate, that showed an osteoconductive ability.
Conclusions: The survey is not a systematic review. Nevertheless, new concepts are introduced and analyzed identifying 6 areas of interest and induced membrane technique development.

Successful treatment of severe trauma and fractures of the long bones with successful healing and bone union is still a significant challenge for surgeons. Unfortunately, up to 10% of long-bone fractures develop bone healing disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of treating bone defects with different etiologies in the upper and lower extremities using the induced membrane technique.

Surgeons periodically encounter challenging clinical scenarios that require them to develop nuanced management strategies to achieve the best outcome for the patient. This is especially true in medically underserved patient populations, where follow-up and proper recovery protocols are often not accomplished. In this report, we discuss the case of a 26-year-old female with a history of medical non-compliance who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms of surgical site infection two months following the repair of her comminuted ulna fracture caused by a gunshot wound.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological outcome of patients with large bone defects in the femur and tibia who were treated according to the guidelines of the diamond concept in our department (Centre for Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery, and Paraplegiology).
Methods: The following retrospective, descriptive analysis consists of patients treated in our department between January 2010 and December 2021. In total, 628 patients were registered, of whom 108 presented with a large-sized defect (≥ 5 cm).

Objective: To determine whether bone transport or Masquelet results in higher rates of major unplanned reoperations for the treatment of segmental tibial bone defects ≥4 cm in length.
Methods: Design: Retrospective cohort.
Setting: Level I trauma center.

Methodology: In a consecutive retrospective analysis of 190 patients treated with the Masquelet technique at the BG Klinikum Hamburg from January 2012 to January 2022, subgroup analysis for defect-specific features such as the extent and morphology of the defect were recorded, and their influence on the time to reach full weight-bearing of the affected limb was investigated.
Results And Conclusion: A total of 217 defects were treated in 190 patients using the Masquelet technique. 70 % of all defects were in the tibia, followed by 22 % in the femur and only about 7 % in the upper extremity.
