Abstract EN
Pediatric tibial nonunion following corrective osteotomy is a rare complication that is not well understood.
While adult nonunions have been linked to endocrine and metabolic aberrations, this has not been established in a pediatric population.
Pediatric tibial nonunion has been shown to respond to debridement with revision fixation using dynamic compression plating, supplementary bone graft, and fibular osteotomy to allow compression.
Necessity of referral for metabolic and endocrinology workup remains unclear in the pediatric population, though inflammatory markers should be obtained in each case to rule out infection.
We present three consecutive cases of pediatric tibial nonunion following osteotomy over a five-year period and discuss the management.
