Four cases of infected nonunion of tibia were treated in our clinic in recent five years. All cases had been treated in another hospital. After débridement and sequestrectomy in all cases, three methods were chosen.
1. Extra skeletal fixation using methyl methacrylate to gain immobilization.
2. Bathing affected whole leg in medicated water for the case with wide skin defect.
3. Intramedullary fixation using Küntscher nail with transverse screws.
