Two-stage treatment with sliding fibular flap technique for chronic infected nonunion of the tibia.

CONCLUSION: Two-stage treatment can be considered as an alternative for fractures in regions that are susceptible to many and persistent complications, such as the tibia. This technique has the advantages of short operation time, minimal blood loss, no excessive tissue damage and not very technique-demanding (a short learning curve with no requirement for an experienced team).
