Abstract
Critical bone loss after open fractures, while relatively uncommon, occurs most frequently in high-energy injuries. Fractures of the tibia account for the majority of open fractures with significant bone loss. A number of different surgical strategies exist for treatment of tibial bone loss, all with different advantages and disadvantages. Care should be taken by the surgeon to review appropriate indications and all relevant evidence before selecting a strategy.
