ABSTRACT
CASE A 14-year-old boy sustained 22 cm of femur bone loss after a motor vehicle accident. The patient underwent treatment with the membrane-inducing "Masquelet" technique for management of the injury. The grafts incorporated to form new bone and fill-in the void. CONCLUSION:
Although the Masquelet technique is thoroughly described in adult orthopaedic trauma and oncology literature, there are minimal reports to support its use in pediatric patients. Five-year follow-up data on this patient concluded that utilization of this technique for significant bone defects proves to be a safe and effective alternative for the management of pediatric trauma patients.
