One of the rare conditions affecting children is pseudoarthrosis of the tibia. The tibia of the affected leg develops a deformity inflicting it to bend backward. We present one such case, who visited the physiotherapy department for post-operative care after receiving Ilizarov's external fixator, which was used to correct this deformity. On presentation, her hip and knee ranges were significantly reduced, her strength in the affected limb had decreased, and her ankle ranges were almost minimal. Her physiotherapy regimen was meticulously planned with consideration for her age and pleasurable activities, allowing us to easily achieve our desired outcome through this play therapy. We noticed significant improvements in her strength and joint ranges after prescribing her routines to follow at home for a month. We thus conclude that physiotherapy is effective in treating this unusual condition.
影响儿童的罕见病症之一是胫骨假关节。患侧小腿胫骨出现畸形，导致向后弯曲。我们呈现这样一个病例，该患儿在接受用于矫正此畸形的伊里扎洛夫外固定器治疗后，前往物理治疗科接受术后护理。初诊时，她的髋关节和膝关节活动范围明显减小，患侧肢体力量下降，踝关节活动范围几乎极小。我们根据她的年龄和喜好的活动精心规划了物理治疗方案，通过这种游戏疗法轻松实现了预期效果。在为她制定了为期一个月的家庭日常训练计划后，我们注意到她的力量和关节活动范围有了显著改善。因此，我们得出结论，物理治疗对治疗这种罕见病症有效。
