Limb length deficiency and bone defects produced by tumor excision, osteomyelitis and traumatic bone loss are treated successfully by distraction osteo-genesis or calotasis. This study examines 10 cases of bone defects produced by tumor excision or traumatic bone loss mana-ged by distraction osteogenesis using monolateral Naseer Awais external fixator. All the bony defects healed during the process of bone transport. Distraction osteogenesis is a reliable method for composite bone and soft tissue transport for treatment of bone defects.</p>}, number={1 SI}, journal={Annals of King Edward Medical University}, author={Awais, Syed Muhammad and Sami, Abdul Latif and Faisal, M and Khan, R and Akram, M and Afzal, T and Naseer, Sial}, year={2010}, month={Jul.} }
