ABSTRACT
The induced membrane technique, first described by Masquelet, is a powerful surgical approach that can be used to address segmental bone loss of various aetiologies. Despite ongoing debate regarding optimal delivery, the indications and limits of its application have been tested in increasingly complex situations, highlighting its considerable potential. We present a case of a devastating open lower limb injury with simultaneous femoral and ipsilateral tibial bone loss including articular injury on both sides of the joint. The Masquelet technique was used to successfully address both segments of bone loss within the same limb.
