Staged treatment with soft tissue damage control and bone reconstruction in the second half is often the best therapeutic option. We present a technical tip using osteochondral allograft to reconstruct an area with extensive bone loss in the distal tibial epiphysis after a gunshot wound, describing the treatment stages and good clinical results. <strong><em>Level of Evidence V; Therapeutic Studies; Expert Opinion.</em></strong></p> ER -
