The results of treatment of 417 patients with pseudoarthroses of the tibia (aged from 17 to 71 years) with the use of various methods: by internal fixation with auto- and allografts, metal plates as well as in the use of extranidal (extralocal) osteosynthesis were analysed. The number of consolidation failures was minimal after autoplasty by Khakhutov and bone autoplasty. The rate of healing after osteosynthesis was substantially lower in internal fixation, than in extranidal (extralocal) osteosynthesis. Inflammatory complications occur less frequently when osteoplasty by Khakhutov was used. The highest rate of complications was observed in tibialization and in bilocal osteosynthesis.
