Intramedullary Bone Transport Nail for the Treatment of Segmental Tibial Bone Defect After Acute Traumatic Bone Loss

The authors investigate the effectiveness of using an intramedullary bone transport nail for reconstructing segmental tibial bone defects following acute traumatic bone loss. They present a case study of a young patient with a significant tibial defect, demonstrating the advantages of this technique over traditional methods that utilize external fixation. The study emphasizes the importance of preoperative planning in achieving successful outcomes with this innovative approach.
