21 (50%) patients suffering on pseudoarthrosis tibia were treated by ilizarov method, from total of 42 discussed in the paper. The ilizarov method in combination with Judet method was used with 21 patients (50.0%) suffering on pseudoarthrosis tibia. Plastic procedures were performed with 12 (28.6%) covering the skin and soft tissues defects, while 10 (23.8) by myocutal lobes. The non-infectious hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis cases were treated only by ilizarov method 14 (33.3%), while the atrophic ones (39.1%) by ilizarov Judet and spondioplastics. Prior infected contact pseudoarthrosis was performed with 9 (64.3%), 6 (66.6%) only by the ilizarov method, while 3 (33.3%) by ilizarov, Judet and spongioplastics were performed with 3 cases (60.0%), while 2 (40.0%) lifting graft. Healing cases (92.9%), but we did not with 3 cases (7.1%). An average time of treatment was three weeks and joints rehabilitation lasted 7 weeks.
