Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia remains one of the most difficult conditions in pediatric orthopedic surgery. The numerous treatment options reflect this difficulty. The aim of successful treatment is to achieve union, length and deformity correction. This reports a 16-years-old male patient with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia diagnosed at age of two years, who previously underwent 14 different operations. The patient was referred to King Abdulaziz University Hospital, where he was treated with Taylor Spatial Frame, excision of pseudarthrosis, autogenus bone grafts and Demineralized Bone Matrix was performed, and union was achieved. Stability and deformity correction permitted by Taylor Spatial Frame, in addition to stimulation of bone healing through proper grafting provided a successful option to treat this complex condition.

ZusammenfassungDer Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) dient u. a. zur Behandlung von Knocheninfekten, Knochendeformitäten oder Rekonstruktionen mittels Segmenttransport. Vorteile sind die von Beginn an hohe Stabilität des Systems und die Möglichkeit, dass eine Vollbelastung während der Fixateurbehandlung durchgeführt werden darf. Die korrekte Konstruktion und Anlage des TSF spielt für den Therapieerfolg eine entscheidende Rolle, sodass ein möglichst stabiles Frame-Konstrukt angelegt werden sollte, um Fehlkorrekturen, Pseudarthrosenbildung und Pinlockerungen zu vermeiden. Gerade für unerfahrene Operateure ist die TSF-Anlage sehr komplex und die Röntgeninterpretation häufig durch die zahlreiche Hardware erschwert. Im Video wird detailliert und schrittweise die Anlage eines TSF am achsdeformierten Kunstknochen präsentiert. Hierdurch soll neben der Erklärung der korrekten Anlage des TSF auch das Verständnis des TSF-Aufbaus gelehrt werden.

This study was to report the comparison of outcomes between Ilizarov ring fixator (IRF) and Taylor Spatial Frame® (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tenn.; TSF) in terms of the effectiveness of ankle-foot deformities correction, follow-up results, and complications. Fourteen patients with ankle-foot deformities were corrected using circular external fixation (IRF group = 7 patients; TSF group = 7 patients) and related procedures. Baseline data and treatment variables were recorded. The patients’ mean age was 42.9 years. Mean follow-up time was 6.5 months. Most common cause of deformity/traumatic condition was posttraumatic equinus. There were successful results in 8 patients (57.1%), partial successful results in 5 patients (35.7%), and revision-needed in 1 patient (7.1%). TSF group demonstrated significantly higher rate of successful results than IRF group (P=0.033). A trend of lower complication rate was found in TSF group (P=0.286). Deformity corrections using TSF provided significantly better clinical scores and higher rate of successful outcome than conventional IRF.
