In the case under study, the conventional treatment by intramedullary rod and autogenous iliac bone grafting had failed. The follow up took place during the next 4 years and the patient can now walk without assistance. Combining a pedicle ipsilateral fibular transfer with an internal fixation and iliac bone graft may be a good option for the treatment of congenital pseudoarthrosis of tibia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KEY WORDS&lt;/strong&gt;: Congenital pseudoarthrosis, tibia, vascularized fibular graft, bone graft.&lt;/p&gt;</abstract><web_url>http://jrms.mui.ac.ir/index.php/jrms/article/view/438</web_url><pdf_url>http://jrms.mui.ac.ir/index.php/jrms/article/download/438/362</pdf_url></Article></Articles>
