Abstract
:
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia remains one of the most difficult conditions in pediatric orthopedic surgery. The numerous treatment options reflect this difficulty. The aim of successful treatment is to achieve union, length and deformity correction. This reports a 16-years-old male patient with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia diagnosed at age of two years, who previously underwent 14 different operations. The patient was referred to King Abdulaziz University Hospital, where he was treated with Taylor Spatial Frame, excision of pseudarthrosis, autogenus bone grafts and Demineralized Bone Matrix was performed, and union was achieved. Stability and deformity correction permitted by Taylor Spatial Frame, in addition to stimulation of bone healing through proper grafting provided a successful option to treat this complex condition
