Abstract

The following report describes a case of a 24-year-old female who presented with a traumatic open trimalleolar ankle fracture with
severe distal tibial bone loss. She was submitted to a staged acute Masquelet technique, where the in-hospital 3D printing was utilized
to guide the shaping and sizing of the antibiotic cement spacer and, subsequently, the bone allograft utilized two months later during
tibiotalar fusion. Adequate bony consolidation was achieved at the 7-week follow-up, and the patient was able to bear weight at 12
weeks fully. Level of Evidence V; Therapeutic studies; Case Report.
