Motorized Intramedullary Bone Transport Nail for Reconstruction of a Large Diaphyseal Bone Defect after Tumor Resection in a Child—A Case Report
The use of IMBTN for large bone defect reconstruction following tumor resection in pediatric patients is a safe and effective technique. It enables stable bone transport while preserving alignment, maintaining limb length, and is less invasive than traditional reconstructive approaches.
