Abstract

In our study we reported 16 patients (12 males and 4 female) with age ranged from 18 to 55 years with average (31.3years old) and presented to academic level 1 trauma center during the period from January 2015 to January 2018 with infected non-union of tibia (10 cases), infected non-union of femur (5 cases), infected nonunion of radius and ulna (1 case).The infected fractures were treated by debridement including removal of implants and resection of sequestrated bone, and longitudinal bone transport using Ilizarov ring fixator after doing proximal or distal corticotomy. We evaluated the results of Ilizarov bone transport as a method of reconstructing bone defect. Infection was eradicated and union was achieved in all cases (100 %). Mean duration of treatment was 13 months. Both the bone and the soft tissues healed without further complications. Distraction osteogenesis performed with Ilizarov device is an excellent technique for bridging large infected post-traumatic bone defects of the long bones by resection of the infected segment, and gradual bone transport.
