Abstract
Bone transport is a method of distraction osteogenesis that allows the creation of regenerate bone using a dynamic external fixator. We report on the use of bifocal bone transport to treat a skeletally immature patient with 15 cm of post-traumatic segmental bone loss from the distal tibia.
