Short summary
This retrospective study shows that autogenous non-vascularized bone graft is a viable option for managing post-osteomyelitis bone defects in children in low-resource settings. Bone union was achieved in all cases at the last follow-up (minimum of 7 years). Recurrence of infection was seen in two cases. Studies into this specific technique are important as it does not require super-specialized centres or skills, both of which are scarce in low-resource settings.
