Managing Bone Defects in the Femur With a Motorized Intramedullary Bone Transport Nail: Case Review With Follow-Up

Abstract

Summary:Bone transport is an effective treatment for segmental bone defects. Until now, the need for external fixation, at least during the transport phase, has been a major disadvantage. New developments such as the bone transport nail allow an all-internal bone transport. A segment transport nail and the therapy regimen are described, and first cases are presented.
