Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We report a case series of three patients who sustained open Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIB tibia fractures associated with extensive segmental bone and soft tissue loss. The patients initially were treated with serial wound irrigations, débridements, and external fixation. After the soft tissue envelope was reconstructed successfully, each large segmental bone defect was reconstructed with a cylindrical titanium mesh cage packed with a composite of cancellous allograft and demineralized bone matrix putty and stabilized with a statically locked intramedullary nail. The mean segmental bone loss was 12.2 cm, and all patients had a minimum 1-year followup. One year after reconstruction, radiographs showed stable, well-aligned, healed constructs, and computed tomography images verified the presence of bony ingrowth throughout the cages. All patients were able to ambulate with full weightbearing, and had good ipsilateral knee, hip, and ankle range of motion. This technique seems to be a reasonable alternative for treating large segmental tibial bone defects. © 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
