Introduction: Tibia is the most widely recognized long bone fractured due its weak subcutaneous location and most frequently associated with acquired complications of delayed union or non-union because of disorder. Among the different treatment options, the Ilizarov outer fixator application is considered as better due than its various benefits. Aim of the study: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of Ilizarov fixation in infected tibial non-union and its outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study was completed in the 250 Bed General Hospital, Khulna, Bangladesh. The duration of this research was 1 year, from June 2021 to May 2022. Total of 102 patients with tibial non-union associated with infection who treated with the Ilizarov fixator were selected for this study. Patient feedback and medical reports were reviewed for union of bone, bone and functional outcomes and complications. Result: The most well-known organic entity for infection was identified to be Staphylococcus Aureus. At the time of last subsequent all patients had accomplished union with the exception of two, one of whom needed to go through amputation because of non-union and sepsis. Larger part of the patients had a great score according to ASAMI evaluating framework for bone and capability results. The most common complexity noted was pin track infections. Conclusion: Ilizarov outer fixator is more qualified for contaminated non-union of tibia since it can give a stable mechanical environment, bone transport, correct deformities, and enable weight bearing and thus its utilization can be suggested for the same.
