It is a congenital condition and a bone disorder that causes fusion problems in the lower part of the tibia bones. congenital tibia ppseudoarthrosis, The bones do not meet normally and an artificial articulation called a pseudoarthrosis occurs between the bones.
This condition can cause problems such as difficulty walking, short legs, deformities and pain. Congenital tibial pseudoarthrosis is usually an inherited condition and is more common in those with a family history.
Treatment usually requires surgical intervention, and surgery is usually performed using grafts, metal plates or nails to ensure the bones come together. The treatment process can be long and challenging, but it is possible to achieve successful results.
How is Congenital Pseudoarthrosis of the Tibia Treated?
Congenital tibia pseudoarthrosis Treatment usually requires surgical intervention. Treatment usually includes the following steps:
bone graft
During surgery, a patient- or donor-derived bone graft may be used to help unite the patient's bones. The graft is placed in the junction area of the tibia bones and a suitable environment is provided for bone growth.
hollow nail
In this method, a hollow nail is placed in the junction of the tibia bones. This nail stimulates surrounding bone tissue growth to help bones unite.
metal plates
During surgery, metal plates may be used to join the bones together. These plates join the bones together and stimulate the growth of bone tissue in the junction area.
Distraction osteogenesis
Congenital tibia pseudoarthrosis This method of treatment is designed to slowly retract the bones and form new bone tissue between them. This method helps the tibia bones come together by promoting bone growth.
The treatment process may vary depending on the patient's condition and treatment method. Surgical intervention is often a difficult process and requires a long rehabilitation process. However, when the right treatment method is chosen, it can have a significant impact on the patient's health and mobility.
Congenital Tibia Pseudoarthrosis Healing Process
Since it usually requires surgical intervention, the recovery process can be quite long and difficult. The recovery process may vary depending on the patient's age, general health condition, type of surgery and treatment method. However, it usually includes the following stages:
Postoperative period
Walking is restricted until the wounds on the patient's legs are completely healed. This process usually takes 4-6 weeks and patients are recommended to support their legs with a high pillow.
Physiotheraphy
Congenital tibia pseudoarthrosis After surgical intervention, patients receive physical therapy. Physical therapy includes special exercises, massage and other treatments to speed bone healing and increase mobility. This process can take 6 to 12 months.
Controls
After surgery, patients are checked by their doctors at regular intervals. During these checks, the joining process of the bones is monitored and the treatment plan is changed if necessary.
Transition to active life
At the end of the recovery process, patients are allowed to return to normal activities. However, since the post-operative recovery process is long, patients are advised to avoid particularly strenuous activities.
