Observation of role of orthofix limb reconstruction system in with non-union with major soft tissue defect

Abstract

Soft tissue loss with multiple sinuses, osteomyelitis, osteoporosis, complex deformities with limb length inequality, stiffness of the adjacent joints and multi drug resistant infection all complicate treatment and recovery. Aim of the study is to observe the role of Orthofix limb reconstruction system as a treatment in non-union with bone loss and major soft tissue defect due to fresh fractures. The method of treatment of infected non-union by the Limb Reconstruction System with a predictable healing of nonunion and control of infection is well shown in this study.
