Introduction

We demonstrate the preliminary results with a novel technique to solve large bone defects using two lengthening nails, working together and aligned in a custom made device. An illustrative case that successfully produced 17 cm bone in 3.5 months, is presented.

Materials and Methods

A 28 year old healthy male presented with a slowly growing mass in the left femur. No general symptoms were reported, no weight loss, no previous illness. Histopathology, CT and MRI scans revealed a malignant diaphyseal bone tumor.

A three-stage trifocal bone transport was projected and conducted based on a 3D model test.
