Bone Defect Reconstruction (Masquelet/Ilizarov)

After debridement and evaluation of the defect, a common practice is to reduce and align the fracture, and provide stability with locking plates or intramedullary nails; if applicable, allograft, decellularized matrix, or synthetic bone materials are implanted, and barrier membranes and compression fixation are combined when necessary to fill the defect and induce osteogenesis. Intraoperative fluoroscopy and guiding devices are relied upon. Postoperative monitoring of pain, incision, and limb perfusion is performed, and rehabilitation is carried out sequentially, with the goal of reconstructing stability and bone mass. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific treatment plan should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
