Infection-free rates and Sequelae predict factors in bone transportation for infected tibia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Infection-free rates and Sequelae predict factors in bone transportation for infected tibia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Tibia infected nonunion and chronic osteomyelitis are challenging clinical presentations. Bone transportation with external or hybrid fixators (combined external and internal fixators) is versatile to solve these problems. However, the infection-free rates of these fixator system...
