Short summary
Segmental bone loss remains a major challenge, often worsened by fracture-related infection (FRI). Surgical debridement and tissue cultures are key initial steps. Bone transport, utilizing distraction osteogenesis, remains a key therapeutic strategy. Innovations like integrated fixation and motorized nails reduce patient morbidity. Management relies on a multidisciplinary approach. This review explores current and emerging concepts in the field of bone transport, focusing on FRI.
