Overcoming the detrimental impact of volumetric muscle loss on segmental fracture healing via the induced membrane technique

Aims: Open fractures pose a substantial treatment challenge, with adjacent muscle loss being a major complication. The induced membrane (IM) technique has shown promise in treating complicated fractures. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of adjacent muscle trauma on segmental fract...
