 PDF
- Infective nonunion after fracture surgery can cause persistent pain and inflammatory exudate in patients, requiring long-term treatment. To treat infective nonunion, radical debridement of infective bone and soft tissue should be performed, followed by stable internal fixation and bone graft. Multiple treatment strategies need to be considered according to the classification of chronic osteomyelitis, size of the bone defect, degree of bone malalignment, and severity of the soft tissue injury. This paper reports a case of a patient treated with an antibiotic cement-coated nail and a Masquelet technique to treat the infected nonunion of the tibia with a bone defect and varus deformity.
