Abstract

The treatment for the wide ranged defect-pseudarthrosis is difficult.
I mention the following facts from my experience which I cured it that was found on the tibia of three-years old girl, twenty-five-years old woman as well as the femur of twenty-years old adults by the fibula graft.
1) Though there are some criticisms against the fibula graft, it could minimize the shortness of the leg. And long after the graft, I could find the changes of bone width in adult.
2) But it needs the fixation for a long time till its complete union. And secondarily we have to take the treatment of the joint into our consideration.
