We analyzed 30 patients with infected diaphyseal defect of femur, which have been treated by lengthening one of the bone fragments with Ilizarov apparatus. The mean length of the bone defect was 6 cm. Substitution of the defect, bone healing and elimination of the infection was achieved in 27 patients. The mean time of apparatus fixation was 10 months. According to Palley scoring system, 10 patients had excellent functional results.
