Outcome of Ilizarov`s Technique in the Management of Congenital Pseudo-arthrosis in Tibia (CPT).
Ophthalmol Update May ;14(4):161-5.

Purpose of the Study: To assess the outcome of Ilizarov`s technique in management of congenital pseudo-arthrosis of tibia. Patients & Methods: We reviewed 18 cases of congenital pseudo-arthrosis of the tibia (CPT) who were treated with Ilizarov`s apparatus between Jan.,2015 and Aug, 2016. The patients were evaluated clinically and radio graphically for ASAMI (association for the study and application of methods of Ilizarov scoring system) scoring. Results: 14 patients achieved union out of 18. The main complication was re-fracture in 2 patients, and leg length discrepancy in 4 patients. Conclusion: The Ilizarov technique was successful in achieving union with few complications, though this should be shown in long-term studies lasting until skeletal maturity.
