Primary bone consolidation was achieved in 93%, indicating the technique's effectiveness in bone defect repair.
The mean follow-up was 6.1 years, during which 16.6% of patients required revision surgery due to infection.
The observational cohort involved 49 patients treated between 2013 and 2019 for osteomyelitis-related defects.
The bone block technique shows promise for reliable reconstruction with a low complication rate, highlighting its clinical utility.
