Hand and wrist Osteo-articular bone defect: induced membrane technique indications

E Woussen et al. Hand Surg Rehabil. 2023 Apr.

Abstract

Bone defect in the hand and wrist is the result of 3 main causes: traumatic, infectious or tumoral. Whatever the cause and possibility of emergency management, the site (hand or wrist) and anatomical location (articular or diaphyseal) guide the choice of surgical technique and timing. Functional sequelae do not vary, and the ultimate objective is not so much to fill a defect but to give a useful and accepted finger, hand or wrist.

Keywords: Articulaire; Articular; Bone defect; Diaphysaire; Diaphyseal; Masquelet technique; Perte de substance; Reconstruction; Technique de Masquelet.
