Abstract
The authors present the late results of 10 male patients with open leg fractures and nonunions treated between 1978 and 1985 with tibiofibular synostosis. This was achieved by autologous cancellous bone grafting. The average time of the follow-up study was 11 years at which time all patients were free of fistulas, fully weight-bearing and able to work. In their subjective opinion these advantages compensated for reduced ankle motion and tolerable periodic pain.
