Abstract
- Osseous union of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia remains today a formidable challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Recently clinlcal studies of nonunion, congenital pseudarthrosis, and fresh fracture suggest that the electical stimulation enhances the union rate and shortens the healing time. We treated a case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia by combined Boyds dual onlay graft and direct current electrical stimulation. A flrm clinical and radiological union was obtained at four months posfoperatively.
