Pathological Fracture of the Tibia in a Monostotic Anterior Cortical Fibrous Dysplasia: Hybrid Fixation with UnicorticalOsteoperiosteal Non-Vascularized Fibula Graft – A Case Report

INTRODUCTION: Fibrous Dysplasia is a relatively rare Musculoskeletal disorders in which there is a defect in remodelling of immature bone to mature lamellar bone. Fibrous Dysplasia was first described by Von Recklinghausen in 1891, but it was Lichtenstein who labelled it polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia in 1938. Union of Pathological Fractures in a bone affected by Fibrous Dysplasia poses a difficult set of Challenges for treating Physicians. CASE REPORT: We Report a 24 year-old female patient with a Pathological Fracture of the Tibia in a Monostotic Anterior Cortical Fibrous Dysplasia Hybrid Fixation with a UnicorticalOsteoperisoteal Non Vascularized Fibula Graft with a follow up until the union of fracture site on computed tomography scan and complete integration of unicorticalosteoperiosteal fibular graft . CONCLUSION: We provide additional and independent evidence that removal of the diseased cortex which were parts of the proximal and distal fragment and reconstruction of the defect in the cortex with a press- fitunicortical Non vascularized osteoperiosteal fibular strut graft with a hybrid fixation is a good treatment modality for monostotic fibrous dysplasia. Hybrid fixation includes retrograde intramedullary transarticular rodding extending across the subtalar and ankle joint into the tibia and augmentation of the primary fixation with a mono-planar rail Fixation in compression mode.
