DiscussionThe only other alternative to close the soft-tissue defect would be the use of a free muscle flap, which is technically demanding, but a reliable solution (Gooden et al. 1997). An alternative treatment of the defect in the extensor muscles and anterior tibial tendons could have been a tendon transplant (Hahn and Kim 1991). However, this requires a donor site and would have to be performed much later in the course of treatment. Alternative solutions to bone lengthening could be an autogenous bone graft, used after resection of bone tumors (Enneking et al. 1980, Johnson et al. 1988), or vascularized fibular grafts, which have been successful in the treatment of bone defects occurring after osteomyelitis (Yajima et al. 1993). In all these techniques, an active infection is a contraindication. Furthermore, the period of treatment is longer, and the techniques are more time-consuming, as regards surgery and inpatient stay.
