Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) combined with distraction osteogenesis in the treatment of bone defects: A new technique of bone transport: A report of two cases

This study reports two cases of fracture of the femur with segmental bone loss that were treated by a new technique of bone transport. A minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) bridge from the proximal to distal femur served as a fixation system. A separate Wagner distraction apparatus was us...
