Management of Segmental Tibial Bone Defects With the Magnetic Motorized Intramedullary Transport Nail : A Case Series

SUMMARY: Critical-sized bone defects in the tibia can arise as sequelae of trauma, infection, tumor, or the treatment of congenital limb deficiencies. Treatment of these defects often requires bone transport, which has traditionally been accomplished using circular external fixators. The development of a bone transport nail facilitated tibia reconstruction through distraction osteogenesis using an all-internal device, thus avoiding the complications associated with chronic external fixation. Given the rarity of these cases, few studies have been published on the reconstruction outcomes using this implant. We sought to investigate the bone healing indices (including regenerate consolidation and time to docking site union) associated with the use of a magnetically controlled all-internal bone transport nail for the reconstruction of 4 patients treated for posttraumatic tibial bone loss. Perioperative and device-related complications are also reported.
