Abstract
We have performed the ipsilateral vascularized fibular transfer for the treatment of congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) . In the case under study, the conventional treatment by intramedullary rod and autogenous iliac bone grafting had failed. The follow up took place during the next 4 years and the patient can now walk without assistance. Combining a pedicle ipsilateral fibular transfer with an internal fixation and iliac bone graft may be a good option for the treatment of congenital pseudo arthrosis of tibia.
