AbstractMasquelet technique is a well-established procedure for reconstruction of bone defects secondary to such causes as infections, non-unions, tumors or open fractures with bone loss. The management of limb length discrepancies following bone defects has been well established using bone transport and remains the preferred choice amongst reconstruction surgeons. One of the criticisms of the Masquelet technique has been its limitation to address limb length discrepancies. We describe a technique for the correction of limb length discrepancies using the Masquelet technique.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved.
