  • Title: [Treatment of congenital tibial pseudarthrosis using a free vascularized fibula transfer and plate osteosynthesis. Case report].

    Abstract:
    Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is a rare disorder of unknown etiology. The free vascularized fibula-pro-tibia-transplant permits correction of the defect and the leg length-discrepancy during one surgical procedure. A 5 year old girl with congenital pseudarthrosis underwent a free vascularized fibular-pro-tibia-transplant. At a follow-up examination 5 years post surgery she had no subjective complaints, she walked without external orthopaedic support, there was no leg length-discrepancy. As stated in the literature the rates of bony unions are much higher than after conventional methods.
