Abstract:
The authors present a case of acquired, untreated pseudarthrosis of the tibia which resulted in adaptation to the weight-bearing function by the fibula. The case described shows the adaptation abilities of the bone tissue which, when subjected to unusual loading, undergoes the necessary reconstruction.
