All patients were treated with the induced membrane technique. In the\n          first stage, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement was implanted in the defects after debridement and then fixed with a locking compression plate (LCP) as an external fixator. In the second\n          stage, bone grafts were implanted to rebuild the defects. The external plates were replaced with nails in 57 patients (internal group), and the remaining 30 patients were not exchanged with\n          fixation (external group). The infection control rate, bone union rate, and complications of the two groups were compared.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results Eighty-seven patients were enrolled in this study, and all patients had a minimum follow-up of 5 years (average 62.8 months) after grafting. Eighty-three patients (95.4%)\n          achieved bone union, and the average union time was 6.77 months. Five patients (5.7%) experienced recurrence of infection. Complications included pin tract infection, fixation loosening,\n          deformity connection, and limitation of joint range of motion (ROM). No significant differences in the infection control rate or bone defect union rate were noted between the two groups. The\n          overall rate of complications in the external group was 50%, which was greater than that noted in the internal group (21.1%).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions Locking compression plates are external fixators with smaller sizes that are easier to operate than conventional annular fixators or assembled external fixators. The use\n          of locking compression plates in combination with the induced membrane technique in the treatment of tibia infected bone defects can achieve good clinical efficacy after medium-term\n          follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1545-5363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T23:06:26Z","timestamp":1631142386000},"page":"311-317","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Locking
