Abstract Purpose This study was designed to observe the medium-term efficacy of an induced membrane technique combined with a locking compression plate as an external fixator for the treatment of tibia infected bone defects. Methods Patients with a tibial infection were admitted to our department between January 2013 and November 2014. All patients were treated with the induced membrane technique. In the first stage, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement was implanted in the defects after debridement and then fixed with a locking compression plate (LCP) as an external fixator. In the second stage, bone grafts we…
