Abstract
|
|
|
|
Distraction osteogenesis with an Ilizarov external fixator is one of the most successful treatment options for large segmental bone defects after extensive debridement of chronic osteomyelitis in the tibial shaft. Its complications include skin irritation, pin tract infection, and non-union due to infection. There are few case reports on chronic osteomyelitis occurring in the distraction osteogenesis area. The authors experienced a chronic osteomyelitis in the distraction osteogenesis area of the tibial shaft and report this case with references.
