Abstract:[Objective] To introduce the surgical technique and preliminary results of membrane induction (Masquelet technique) com- bined with double-plate internal fixation for large segmental bone defect of tibial shaft. [Methods] From January 2016 to January 2019, 18 patients with tibial diaphysis defect were treated with induction membrane technique combined with double-plate internal fixation. The de- formity was evaluated before surgery, and the defect of tibia bone was thoroughly debrided. After infection control, bone cement was filled and the wound was covered at the same time, skin flap was used if necessary. After the membrane induced was formed properly, the bone ce- ment was removed and bone grafting was performed at the defect site, simultaneously, internal fixation with lateral and medial plates in the same incision was conducted. [Results] All the 18 patients were successfully operated on without serious complications. Except 2 patients who had postoperative superficial wound infection, which healed after dressing change and using anti-infective drugs, all the patients got sound wound healing after the second-stage operation. All the patients were followed up for more than 12 months, and got clinical bone healing in (4.44±0.98) months. At 12 months postoperatively the VAS score, Lowa knee function score and Lowa ankle function score signif- icantly improved compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05) . [Conclusion] This membrane induction technique combined with doubleplate for internal fixation does effectively treat the large-segment bone defect of tibial shaft with good clinical outcomes, and has the advan- tages of simple operation, high acceptance by patients, and few complications.
