Revisión bibliográfica de resultados obtenidos utilizando la Técnica de Masquelet en lesiones complicadas con osteomielitis: a propósito de un caso clínico / Bibliographic review of results obtained using Masquelet's technique in complicated lesions with osteomyelitis: apropos of a clinical case

SUMMARY: The Masquelet technique or membrane induction is considered new in many ways, born under the need to seek therapeutic options in patients with extensive bone lesions. Since this technique was proposed, hopeful and reproducible results have been reported to different centers throughout the world. That is why in this work we seek to collect information from different authors and their case reports, in addition to presenting a case handled in the O'higgins region with this technique. OBJECTIVES: To review the literature regarding general results in bone consolidation in cases similar to the one exposed, in addition to exposing the Masquelet Technique as management in a patient with extensive bone loss, due to a firearm wound. METHODS: descriptive observational study, in addition to a systematic review in databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Elsevier, Cochrane and manually through the Internet in journals and public bodies. This work seeks to collect information from different authors and their case reports, in addition to delving into the technique itself, evaluating its indications, contraindications and protocol to follow. The patient's signature of an informed consent was requested, which is explicitly voluntary, in which he authorizes the review of his file, his background and the use of images and / or x-rays pertinent to the research. RESULTS: Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined to analyze the characteristics of the selected articles. We present the clinical case of a 27-year-old male patient who suffers high-energy injury by firearm in the middle third of the right leg with exposure and loss of musculoskeletal tissue of 12 cm in diameter, polyfragmentary fracture of the proximal third of tibia and fibula, initially damage control is performed which is complicated by presenting osteomyelitis in said limb. It is handled with Masquelet technique. The induction time was approximately 4 months, after the second surgical time the lesion is consolidated in three months showing results similar to the literature studied.
