case_images: She sustained an open distal tibia fracture with substantial distal-third tibia bone loss (Figure 1).
case_images: Anteroposterior (a) and lateral (b) radiographs of the lower leg and hindfoot 48 months after definitive surgery. Coronal (c) and sagittal (d) CT scan images from the same timepoint demonstrating bone growth into the cage from the tibia, talus, and calcaneus.

case_images: Plain radiographs and CT scan (Figure 2) demonstrated successful bone incorporation of the talus, calcaneus, and tibia.
case_images: Serial radiographs demonstrating increased bone deposition at the interface of the distal tibia diaphysis and the proximal extent of the cage.

case_images: Proof of progressive bone growth incorporation of the cage can be seen with serial radiographs of the proximal interface of the cage and native tibia (Figure 3).
