Complications associated with distraction osteogenesis for infected nonunion of the femoral shaft in the presence of a bone defect A RETROSPECTIVE SERIES [PDF]
, 2010 We undertook a retrospective study of 50 consecutive patients (41 male, 9 female) with an infected nonunion and bone defect of the femoral shaft who had been treated by radical debridement and distraction osteogenesis. Their mean age was 29.9 years (9 to
