Introduction: Congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia is an uncommon condition leading to gradually progressive deformity, shortening of the limb and disability. The condition is notorious for failure of treatment and need of multiple operations. A combination of open reduction, thorough excision of abnormal tissue at the pseudarthrosis site, intramedullary nailing, ring fixator application, and distraction to achieve bone equalization has proved successful. Case Report: A case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the left tibia and fibula associated with neurofibromatosis treated by open reduction, intramedullary nailing, ring fixator application, and distraction at corticotomy to cause compression at the pseudarthrosis site and limb length equalization is being reported due to uncommon occurrence of transient hypertension in the child as a complication of ring fixator. Conclusion: Transient hypertension is a rare complication seen in children after application of ring fixator. Its diagnosis and control require proper perioperative assessment of child regarding blood pressure (BP), monitoring of BP during distraction period and period of application of ring fixator, and its treatment under care of pediatrician.
