Abstract :

In this review we overviewed the diagnostic and management approaches of infected nonunion tibi and preference over others. We performed an overview of the literature with the use of the medical databases such; Medline and EMBASE. All researches related to the inflamed nonunion of the tibia have been focused in our search. We covered research published up to January, 2021. inflamed nonunion of tibia and femur prevail in clinical technique. some coexisting issues generally make the nonunion infected tibia complicated in which contamination of bone and soft tissue loss, limb-period inequalities, disorder, and joint stiffness. that make it absolutely a trouble for orthopedic surgeons about choosing the management of infected nonunion of tibia and femur. several diverse surgical remedy alternatives had been recommended, such as bone grafting, loose tissue switch, antibiotic therapy, and Ilizarov strategies. There are some constraints in bone grafting, together with the scale of bone defects, donor site morbidity, and prolonged graft consolidation time. Although free tissue transfer appropriates for the therapy of large bone and soft tissue loss, it is a technically requiring surgical intervention, and it is typically associated with stress fractures and nonunion tibia.
