ABSTRACT
Accordion Maneuver is a strong "Bloodless Tool" in the Ilizarov technology, that helps to bring about healing of nonunion of fractures of long bones. A 50 years old male, a rare case of Pycnodysostosis, presented to us with recalcitrant nonunion of the fracture shaft of the femur after two failed surgical attempts, with a broken plate in the last attempt. We treated this very difficult nonunion by Ilizarov monofocal osteosynthesis with Accordion Maneuver that finally yielded union. This appears to be the only case report of treating such a case with Accordion Maneuver.
