Abstract:
Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia remains one of the most difficult conditions to treat in orthopedic surgery. Seven cases were treated in our hospital by different methods. Three out of seven patients were healed, two of these refractured. At follow-up, the success rate was 14% (one out of seven cases). It is our recommendation that early primary amputation with an appropriate prosthesis should be considered, and that the final evaluation should not be based on obtaining bone union, but on the level of function of the lower extremity.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
