  • Title: Treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia by the Ilizarov method.
    Author: Plawecki S, Carpentier E, Lascombes P, Prevot J, Robb JE.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 1990; 10(6):786-90. PubMed ID: 2250066.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of congenital pseudarthrosis were treated by the Ilizarov method. Consolidation was obtained by 3.5 months in three patients who had undergone several previous surgical procedures. Although the length of follow-up was short (maximum 3.5 years), consolidation occurred more quickly than by traditional methods. This technique also permitted both simultaneous correction of axial malalignment and leg lengthening. We think that this method has a place as a salvage procedure except where the distal fragment is very thin or dystrophic.
