Combined Ilizarov Fixation and Intramedullary Nailing for Treatment of Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia.

Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that Ilizarov fixation combined with intramedullary nailing is a safe, effective and practical treatment for management of CPT. This combination technique achieves multiple objectives including rigid-stable fixation, management of LLD, correction of residual deformity and prevention of refracture. Moreover, this technique can be used in cases with previous operations that resulted in nonunion. PMID: 29952191 [PubMed - in process]
