Abstract:
The present concepts of the aetiology, prevention and treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia are discussed. The satisfactory results of Ilizarov's method and vascularised fibular grafting make these methods optimal choices for treatment. When they are not available, a bone graft with intramedullary fixation is a valuable alternative.
