Abstract
A method for treating a bone defect extending between a proximal bone structure and a distal bone structure of a patient may include resecting a region of bone between the proximal bone structure and the distal bone structure and encompassing the bone defect, positioning a biodegradable osteogenic scaffold within a biodegradable sleeve, coupling the biodegradable sleeve to a fixation member, positioning the biodegradable sleeve between the proximal bone structure and the distal bone structure, and attaching the fixation member to each of the proximal bone structure and the distal bone structure.
