Fig. 1From: A modified hybrid transport technique combined with a retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis nail for the management of distal tibial periarticular osteomyelitis and associated defectsSchematic diagram of the MHT technique. a Patient suffering from segmental distal tibial defects; b An annular frame combined with a retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis nail is installed and antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate is filled into the bone defect site; c New callus generated after gradual bone transport; d After the bone transport period finishes, the transport frame is removed.
