Healing of the Bony Gap with Periosteal Osteogenesis After Tibial Diaphysectomy in Adult
|

Abstract
|
|
|
The diaphysectomy of a large tubular bone is occasionally done as a method of treating chronic osteomyelitis.
Obliteration of the bony gap with stable complete reunion by periosteal new bone formation is rare in adult and is usually not expected to be complete. Therefore, the bony defect generally is replaced
or refilled to bridge the gap by massive bone graft after complete subsidence of the inflammatory signs.
The authors report a case of chronic osteomyelitis of tibial shaft which was treated by diaphysectomy and healed with complete and stable periosteal new bone formation in the gap of. diaphysectomized tibia without graft or replacement in a healthy young adult.
