Fig. 4From: A modified hybrid transport technique combined with a retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis nail for the management of distal tibial periarticular osteomyelitis and associated defectsThe patient underwent bone reconstruction through the MHT technique. a Appearance of the lower leg after wound healing; b After removing the bone cement, obvious bone defects (about 8.0 cm) was observed in the wounds; c and d X-ray films after the insertion of a retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis nail and antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate; e and f After two weeks, the annular bone transport frame was installed.
