AbstractTraumatic extrusion of bone is a rare complication of high energy open fractures, and there are only few studies published in literature on reimplantation of the extruded bone segment. Studies with clear guidelines regarding timing of reimplantation, stabilisation of extruded bone segments, bone disinfection and disinfection techniques are very few. Previous reports describe disinfection using thermal or chemical methods. We present a case scenario of successful reimplantation of an extruded metaphyseal segment of distal femoral condyle following cleaning with copious saline and soaked in 10% povidine-iodine for 20 min in a 21 year old male patient of a complex floating knee injury with excellent outcome based on Karlstrom and Olerud criteria.
