We describe a case of Charcot ankle arthropathy in a 43-year-old male patient who underwent revision surgery for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with a retrograde intramedullary nonvascularized fibular graft. After 3 months of postoperative stabilization with a ring external fixator, successful radiographic union was identified. The findings obtained at 33 months postoperatively showed maintenance of solid fusion and restoration of hindfoot alignment without any complications.

Background: The surgical treatment of non-union of long bones are challenging especially when bones are osteoporotic or there is a large bone gap due to repeated surgeries and implant failures. Plate with intramedullary fibula provides a stable construct as fibula acts as a second implant with better anchorage and high pull-out strength. The aim of our study is to present our experience of treating complex non-union of long bones using compression plating (LCP/DCP) in combination with autologous non-vascularized fibular graft (ANVFG).

Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a skeletal developmental abnormality commonly affecting the ribs, femur, tibia, skull, pelvis, spine, and shoulder. FD of the proximal radius is extremely rare and very few cases have been reported. In addition, monostotic lesions of FD in the upper extremity go unnoticed as they are usually asymptomatic.

Introduction: There is no standard protocol for managing non-union of diaphyseal humerus bone, with several authors reporting their results using various techniques and methods for its management. No meta-analysis has reported the results of managing these cases with non-vascularized fibula grafting as an adjuvant for osteosynthesis.
Materials And Methods: This meta-analysis was performed to estimate the pooled data for calculating the union rates in diaphyseal humerus fractures managed with non-vascularized fibula grafting.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm bones (CPFBs) is rare, with only 106 reported cases, and is frequently associated with neurofibromatosis (NF). Approximately 5% of patients with NF develop pseudarthrosis, and 50% of patients with pseudarthrosis have NF. Achieving bone union is difficult in congenital pseudarthrosis.
