## Abstract ## Background We present a case of an immense unprecedented tibial bone lengthening of 33.5 cm. The management of chronic osteomyelitis of the right tibia with subtotal tibial bone defect, talus defect and equinus ankle deformity. We demonstrate limb reconstruction by distraction osteogenesis and correction of ankle deformity with the Ilizarov technique. Limb salvage was preferred as an alternative to amputation to restore basic limb function. ## Case presentation A 16-year-old male patient fell and injured his right lower leg. He attempted to treat the symptoms with traditional home remedies. During 15 months of self-treating, he developed osteomyelitis of the right tibia and had lost function in his foot. Radiology revealed immense bone defect of the right tibia, including talus bone defect and equinus deformity of the calcaneus. The patient’s right tibia was non weight-bearing, had drainage sinus just below his knee and a large scar anteriorly along the entire length of the tibia. ## Conclusion Upon completion of treatment, the patient was able to avoid amputation of his leg with partially restored function for weight-bearing. He carried himself without assistance af
