| Summary: | Segmental bone defects of the tibia present a challenging problem for the orthopedic trauma surgeon. These injuries are often complicated by soft tissue defects and infection. Many techniques are reported, from bone graft to bone transport.

We report an instance including procedure and subsequent complications after bone transport over the plate, to restore a tibial bone defect. |
