Fifteen patients with large segmental necrosis of the tibia with deep infection, following open fractures, were treated according to the Burri-Papineau protocol. After radical debridement. the segmental bone defects averaged 8.4 (5–15) cm. Necrectomy, external fixation, and open cancellous grafting, in a two-stage procedure, gave infection control in 14 cases and bone healing in 12. Additional procedures, i.e. plating and posterolateral bone grafting. provided union in another 2 cases. One patient underwent amputation. Functional results in the other 14. after a follow-up averaging 4 years, were good in 9 cases, fair in 3, and poor in 2.Downloads
