Large defects of the long tubular bones can be accompanied by different degrees of limb shortening. When we eliminate of the shortening in one step^ it van be not only technical difficulties during the operation, but also various postoperative complications – contractures in adjacent joints, neuritis and neuropathy, damage to vascular structure, dislocations. The aim of the article was to study the effectiveness of a two-stage reconstruction of large defects of long tubular bones, complicated by limb shortening, in late microsurgical operations. The results of treatment of 18 patients were analyzed after the microsurgical method of replacing large bone defects in long tubular bones in whom a true shortening of the affected limb segment from 1 to 12 cm was revealed before surgery. In 8 cases, the shortening of the limb segments did not exceed 3 cm and was restored simultaneously with microsurgical autoplasty of the bone defect. In 10 patients with bone defects and shortening of the affected segment was more than 5 cm, a two-stage treatment was used. At the first stage, the length of the limb was restored by forced distraction with the Ilizarov method, and at the second stage, the bone defect was replaced with a vascularized graft. Two-stage surgical tactics of treatment made it possible not only to replace the bone defect of the tubular bone but also to restore the length of the limb while preserving the function of adjacent joints.
