| Core Tip |
The induced membrane (IM) technique (IMT) has been mostly used for severe long bone defects due to open fractures and infected nonunion. The clinical studies available show its performance and outcomes on relatively small samples of patients and they are mostly infected cases. The surgeon should adequately resect non-vital tissues to prevent bone auto- or allograft lysis due to possible reinfection. The IMT gives a chance for the infection to heal after thorough debridement within the waiting period during stage 1. Its implementation frequently needs soft-tissue procedures and several grafting materials to add into the IM in critical size defects. Internal fixation is a preferred method of bone fixation to avoid the risks of external fixation complications. The interval between the stages and duration of antibiotics administration are longer in infected cases. |
