Abstract
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) type 3 (after El-Rosasy-Paley classification of CPT ) has the best prognosis. In this type the bone ends are wide and the pseudarthrosis is not mobile and with/without past history of surgical interference (El-Rosasy et al. 2007). Closed distraction of this type of CPT leads to stimulation of new bone formation across the distraction gap, along the lines of distraction, and consolidation of the pseudarthrosis.
