Bone defects remain challenging problems that affect acute and post-traumatic reconstruction. As advances in technology allow new approaches to transport as well as biologic and non-biologic approaches to reconstruction, a thorough examination of these options and their ideal applications is necessary.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Maximize results of bone defect management using the induced membrane technique
  • Apply distraction osteogenesis principles to perform bone transport using internal and external techniques
  • Identify which patients may benefit from non-biologic reconstruction of bone defects
