Materials and Methods: Thirty patients, with infected non-union of the tibia, were managed by adequate debridement, resection of infected portion, and stabilization by Ilizarov frame with docking or corticotomy & bone transport as per standard protocol. The results of follow-ups were analyzed clinically and radiologically, using ‘Association for the Study and Application of Methods of Ilizarov (ASAMI)’ scoring system.

Results: In present study, all fractures of tibia united completely without any persistent infection. Out of 30 patients, bone results were excellent in 19, good in 8, and fair in 3 patients. We didn’t observe any poor bone result. Functional results were excellent in 15, good in 11, fair in 3, and poor in 1 patient. The most common complication was pin tract infection (16 patients/53%), which was managed accordingly. There was no need of amputation in any patient of our study group after application of Ilizarov technique.

Conclusion: Ilizarov technique is the wonderful one stage procedure to eradicate infection, achieve satisfactory bone union and better functional results in cooperative patients with infected non-union of tibia.
