Compound injuries with bone loss have a propensity to develop infective non-union. If major bone loss occures then choices of treatment left are vascularized bone grafting, custom mega prosthesis, Ilizarov fixation, and Huntington procedure.
Here we report a case of 3-year-old child who suffered compound grade III injury to lower leg, which developed into infective non-union over a period of 5 years, for which she was treated, and eventually tibialisation of the fibula was performed.
