TL;DR: In this article, a modified Masquelet induced membrane technique for the treatment of a posttraumatic 10 cm infected segmental femoral defect is reported. But the use of a telescoped structural allograft and intramedullary nailing as the second stage of the Masquelets induced membrane procedure facilitated postoperative rehabilitation, increased surface contact between host and graft bone, and improved integration.
Abstract: CASE: A modified induced membrane technique for the treatment of a posttraumatic 10-cm infected segmental femoral defect is reported. The first stage involved debridement and insertion of an antibiotic cement spacer and 2 Ender nails. Reconstruction was performed with a 14-cm structural bone allograft, inverted and telescoped into both ends of the remaining host femur, and stabilized with an interlocking nail. Progressive weight-bearing was allowed at 3 weeks with full weight-bearing achieved at 6 months. CONCLUSION: The use of a telescoped structural allograft and intramedullary nailing as the second stage of the Masquelet induced membrane technique facilitated postoperative rehabilitation, increased surface contact between host and graft bone, and improved integration.
TL;DR: An 81-year-old woman was admitted because of bleeding from a transverse colostomy performed 25 years previously for what the family described as "an acute peritonitis," and entered the intensive care unit with an irregular pulse rate of 120, blood pressure of 90160 mm Hg, and hemodynamic failure.
