Induced membrane technique using enriched bone grafts for treatment of posttraumatic segmental long bone defects

ConclusionsIn this series using an induced membrane technique based on a combination of autograft and allograft enriched with BMCA and PRP, the healing rate was lower than in other series where autologous bone graft alone was employed. Nonunion was more frequent in longer and double defects. Further research aimed at developing effective alternative options to autogenous cancellous bone graft is desirable.Level of evidence: III
