Fibula pseudarthrosis revisited treatment with Ilizarov apparatus: case report and review of the literature

B K Ng et al. J Pediatr Orthop B. 2001 Jul.

Abstract

A case of isolated congenital fibula pseudarthrosis with progressive valgus ankle deformity is reported. Valgus deformity can be corrected early by Ilizarov apparatus. Bone grafting is an essential part of treatment for union of the pseudarthrosis site. Internal splinting may be helpful in preventing further valgus deformity by maintaining continuity of fibula. Age of presentation has an important bearing on the choice of treatment.
