Abstract
This article presents the MaCIS method for treatment of long defect fractures of long bones using the example of a Ukrainian soldier. This method includes locking medullary nailing of the affected long bone by an individually tailored cage interposed through the defect and filling of the cage with autologous spongiosa. In comparison to bone segment transport this method results in immediate full load-bearing capability of the affected extremity with substantially higher patient comfort.
