One of the rare conditions affecting children is pseudoarthrosis of the tibia. The tibia of the affected leg develops a deformity inflicting it to bend backward. We present one such case, who visited the physiotherapy department for post-operative care after receiving Ilizarov's external fixator, which was used to correct this deformity. On presentation, her hip and knee ranges were significantly reduced, her strength in the affected limb had decreased, and her ankle ranges were almost minimal. Her physiotherapy regimen was meticulously planned with consideration for her age and pleasurable activities, allowing us to easily achieve our desired outcome through this play therapy. We noticed significant improvements in her strength and joint ranges after prescribing her routines to follow at home for a month. We thus conclude that physiotherapy is effective in treating this unusual condition.
