Descrição

Background: Various techniques have been reported to treat large, segmental tibial defects, such as autogenous bone graft, vascularized free fibula transfer and bone transport. We present a case of a 24-year-old male with a 17-year history of chronic osteomyelitis with obvious lower limb length discrepancy and severe varus deformity of the tibia secondary to osteomyelitis in childhood. Aim: The aim of this work is to provide an alternative choice for treating patients in developing countries with severe lower limb deformity caused by chronic osteomyelitis. Case Presentations: Without surgical intervention for a prolonged period of time, the patient was admitted in our institute for corrective surgery. Corrective surgery consisted of three stages: lengthening with Ilizarov frame, removal of Ilizarov frame and fixation with externalized locking plate, and removal of externalized locking plate. Tibia bridging was achieved at the distal and proximal junction. The range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint was nearly normal, but the stiffness of the ankle joint was noticeable. The remaining leg discrepancy of 0.1 cm required no application of a shoe lift. Moreover, the patient could engage in daily activities without noted limping. Conclusions: Distraction–compression osteogenesis using the Ilizarov apparatus is a powerful tool to lengthen the shortened long bone and adjust the deformity of the lower limbs. Externalized locking plates provide an alternative to the traditional bulky external fixator, as its low profile makes it more acceptable to patients without compromising axial and torsional stiffness. In all, a combination of Ilizarov frame, externalized locking plate and tibia bridging is an alternative for patients in similar conditions.
