RESECTION OSTEOSYNTHESIS AND BOYD AMPUTATION FOR CONGENITAL PSEUDARTHROSIS OF THE TIBIA

Résumé fourni par la source

1. A case of congenital bowing of the tibia is described in which pseudarthrosis developed and recurred after nine operations performed by the age of ten years. 2. Union was finally secured by a procedure based on deep impaction of the trimmed upper fragment into the reamed-out lower fragment. This was followed by a Boyd type of partial amputation of the foot with calcaneo-tibial arthrodesis. 3. The end-bearing stump four years later is entirely satisfactory and the simple prosthesis gives equality of leg lengths.
