Abstract
In an elderly woman a tibial condylar pseudarthrosis was angulated with disabling pain, significant deformity, and progressive articular deterioration. The treatment of this non-union consisted of arthrotomy, mobilization of the ununited medial condyle, slight over-elevation of the tibial plateau, iliac bone grafting to reconstitute loci of bone loss, and rigid interfragmentary and buttress plate fixation. Postoperative management consisted of early knee motion and delayed weight-bearing to facilitate functional restoration of the extremity. Within 3 months, union occurred in anatomic position.
