Featured New Issue: East and Central African Journal of Surgery Vol. 17 No. 2

Today we are also featuring vol. 17 no. 12 of the East and Central African Journal of Surgery, updated last week on the Bioline website. One of its articles, Masquelet's Technique for Management of Long Bone Defects: From Experiment to Clinical Application, discusses the treatment of large bone defects using the Masquelet's technique. The Masquelet's technique is based on two principal steps: the formation of induction membrane and cancellous bone grafting.

Vol. 17 no. 12 also includes a study (Burnout Syndrome among Orthopaedic Surgeons in Lagos, Nigeria) on the rate of burnout syndrome among orthopaedic surgeons in Lagos State, Nigeria. 29 surgeons participated in the study by filling out a questionnaire on their demographic details.
