**Summary of the Clinical Trial: Induced Membrane Properties in Children and Adults**

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help heal bone injuries that are too large to heal on their own, known as critical sized defects. The Masquelet technique, which is being researched, involves a two-step process. First, a special spacer is placed in the bone defect, which helps the body form a natural membrane around it. After some time, the spacer is removed, and the area is filled with bone graft material to support healing. Researchers want to learn more about how this membrane helps with blood flow and bone healing in both children and adults.

If you or a family member have a critical sized bone defect and are between the ages of 9 months and 60 years, you might be eligible to participate in this study at CHU Amiens-Picardie. However, those who are pregnant, nursing, or have other issues like being under guardianship can't join. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study to understand how well this technique works. It's an opportunity to contribute to important research that could improve bone healing methods in the future.
