Where this comes from

Abstract

This video depicts the materials and steps for creating an antibiotic cement spacer in the form of an intramedullary nail and demonstrates how to insert the nail into a tibia. The indication for this patient was a history of a type 3B open tibia fracture 6 months before treated with an intramedullary nail that subsequently developed an infected nonunion.
