BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effectiveness of a sequential internal fixation strategy and intramedullary nailing with plate augmentation (IMN/PA) for bone reconstruction in the management of infected femoral shaft defects using the Masquelet technique.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective descriptive cohort study of 21 patients (mean age, 36.4 years) with infected bone defects of the femoral shaft treated by the Masquelet technique with a minimum follow-up of 18 months after second stage. After aggressive debridement, temporary stabilisation (T1) was achieved by an antibiotic-loaded bone cement spacer and internal fixation with a bone cement-coated locking plate. At second stage (T2), the spacer and the locking plate were removed following re-debridement, and IMN/PA was used as definitive fixation together with bone grafting. We evaluated the following clinical outcomes: infection recurrence, bone union time, complications, and the affected limb's knee joint function.
RESULTS: The median and quartiles of bone defect length was 7 (4.75-9.5) cm. Four patients required iterative debridement for infection recurrence after T1. The median of interval between T1 and T2 was 10 (9-19) weeks. At a median follow-up of 22 (20-27.5) months, none of the patients experienced recurrence of infection. Bone union was achieved at 7 (6-8.5) months in all patients, with one patient experiencing delayed union at the distal end of bone defect due to screws loosening. At the last follow-up, the median of flexion ROM of the knee joint was 120 (105-120.0)°.
CONCLUSIONS: For infected femoral shaft bone defects treated by the Masquelet technique, sequential internal fixation and IMN/PA for the reconstruction can provide excellent mechanical stability, which is beneficial for early functional exercise and bone union, and does not increase the rate of infection recurrence.
