Abstract

This is a case of a 24 year old male with a type IIIB right tibial fracture after an injury sustained after a motor vehicle collision. He had a 6 cm bone defect in the diaphysis and soft tissue invagination into the defect. He was treated with application of a Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF), bone transport, and elevation of the flap and docking site grafting.
