Abstract
Using a contralateral anterior L-shaped locking compression plate fixation through a posterior-lateral approach with Iliac crest bone graft to reconstruct the distal tibial nonunion is a safe and reliable method that can successfully treat patients with poor soft tissue condition of anterior portion of leg because of its adequate exposure, both tibia and fibula rigid fixation and plenty of bone graft. We believe the application of this method resulting in a high union and low complication rate.
