SANTOS MONTOYA, Francisco Adolfo De los et al. Masquelet technique in atrophic nonunion of tibia with chronic osteomyelitis, its description. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.2, pp.280-284.  Epub 23-Nov-2021. ISSN 1870-7203.  https://doi.org/10.35366/100456.

The membrane induction technique or Masquelet technique has been developed in recent years for the treatment of either traumatic or infectious bone defects with adequate soft tissue coverage, by means of a procedure divided in two phases, where the creation of membranes is stimulated with surgical cement in the focus of non-union or bone loss with subsequent graft placement, a case is presented where the technique described above is performed with good functional results in the treatment of an atrophic non-union with osteomyelitis in a patient with a fractured diaphyseal tibia.
