| description | We report a case of infected nonunion secundary to an open femoral fracture type III C, treated by the process of distraction osteogenesis.
A 32-years-old male patient presented a gunshot open fracture of the distal right femur with arterial injury. Surgical debridement, external fixation and arterial reparation were made as urgent procedure. The patient developed a femoral infected nonunion, so after 24 months of evolution wide resection is performed leaving a 12 cm bone defect that is regenerated by distraction osteogenesis.
Distraction osteogenesis is a useful procedure for the repair and consolidation of several bone defects. It requires a patient who is committed to a demanding therapeutic process. |
