ABSTRACT
Case A 30-year-old male was admitted in our hospital having an open left distal femoral fracture with 9-cm segmental bone defect and a closed proximal left tibial fracture. He was treated successfully using a Hybrid (Titanium Cage and Bone Graft) Masquelet Induction Membrane Technique (MIMT). His femoral fracture united 3-months post - operatively. The left tibia was treated initially with two locking plates. Following infection, a 3-cm tibial bone gap was treated with external fixation and conventional MIMT. The tibial fracture united 12-months post- operatively. Conclusion:
The Hybrid MIMT achieved a successful healing outcome in this challenging case.
