Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Tibia Treatment in Indore
Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare condition characterized by the abnormal formation of the tibia bone in the lower leg. In this condition, the tibia bone fails to heal properly after a fracture, resulting in a non-union or pseudoarthrosis. CPT typically presents at birth or during early childhood and is often associated with other congenital anomalies, such as neurofibromatosis type 1. The exact cause of CPT is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Children with CPT may experience pain, weakness, and deformity in the affected leg, leading to functional limitations and difficulty walking. Treatment often involves surgical intervention to stabilize the bone and promote healing, along with physical therapy to improve strength and mobility.
Treatment
Treatment for congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia aims to achieve bone union and restore function to the affected limb. Surgical intervention is typically required and may involve various techniques such as bone grafting, internal fixation with plates or rods, or external fixation with an Ilizarov frame. The goal of surgery is to stabilize the bone, promote bone healing, and correct any deformity or limb length inequality. Physical therapy is an essential component of treatment and focuses on strengthening the muscles around the affected limb, improving range of motion, and optimizing functional outcomes. In some cases, additional surgeries may be necessary to address complications or residual deformities.
