title: Treatment of severe osteitis after elastic intramedullary nailing of a radial bone shaft fracture by using cancellous bone graft in Masquelet technique in a 13-year-old adolescent girl.
abstract: We present here an unfortunate long-lasting case of sever osteitis after elastic intramedullary nailing of a radial bone shaft fracture in a 13-year-old adolescent girl and the final treatment by using a modified Masquelet technique (Palacos spacer and cancellous bone graft in a second session in addition to a plate osteosynthesis) to reconstruct the severely destroyed proximal radial bone.
