Treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia with native bovine BMP: a case report.

Advantages of intramedullar fixation in treatment of congenital tibial pseudoarthrosis--a case report.

This report describes a case of a 29-year old patient with congenital pseudoarthrosis of the distal tibia previously treated unsuccessfully by a conventional surgical method. Tibial congenital pseudoarthrosis is a rare disease characterized by segmental osseous weakness resulting in deformation of the bone and spontaneous fractures which progresses to a tibial nonunion. In our case we used intr...

Wrapping grafting for congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia

OBJECTIVE Treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) remains a challenge. The autogenic iliac bone graft is important consistent of treatment for CPT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of wrapping autogenic iliac bone graft in improvement of the curing opportunities of CPT. METHODS We combined Ilizarov fixator with intramedullary rodding of the tibia and wra...

Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (rhBMP-7) A Report of Five Treatment of Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia with Recombinant

Combined treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, including recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2: a case series.

The use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia has been investigated in only one previous study, with promising results. The aim of this study was to determine whether rhBMP-2 might improve the outcome of this disorder. We reviewed the medical records of five patients with a mean age of 7.4 years (2.3 to 21) with c...

Burnei’s procedure in the treatment of long bone pseudarthrosis in patients having osteogenesis imperfecta or congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia – preliminary report

RATIONALE given the recalcitrant behaviour of pseudarthrosis in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT), there is no ideal solution to treat such challenging deformities. The reconsideration of the already known principles, by using the modern technology, may generate new treatment methods. AIM the present paper presents the preliminary results of an orig...
