Sumario:The management of infected nonunion with bone loss is always challenging. The Masquelet technique is an excellent option available for us today. However, there are few reports of its use in the paediatric age group and no reports of its use especially in infected distal radius fractures or nonunion. We report on two children with infection and significant bone loss after open fractures of the distal radius which we have treated successfully using a modified Masquelet technique.
