Abstract

Reconstruction of diaphyseal bone defects still represents a major clinical challenge. Several approaches are used with the common objective to regenerate bone loss and restore function. The methods most commonly used are the vascularised fibula autograft and the Ilizarov bone transfer technique. Recently, Masquelet proposed a procedure combining induced membranes and cancellous autografts. The aim of this article was to briefly describe the technique, to review the current evidence and to discuss the tips and tricks that could help the surgeons to improve outcome. Future directions to increase its effectiveness and expand its application are also being discussed. However, predicting the outcome of reconstruction of bone defects remains difficult; and the patient should always be informed that, although potential complications are mostly predictable, in most of the cases the reconstruction process is long and difficult.
