  ABSTRACT: Treatment of fragility fractures of the distal tibia in the elderly is demanding because of osteopenic bone quality, the delicate soft tissue cuff and frequent critical circulation. We report the case of two-level tibial pseudarthroses in an 83- year-old woman caused by multiple myeloma successfully stabilized by a long ankle arthrodesis nail combined with locking compression plate osteosynthesis. This case is unique, as to our best knowledge, herein diaphyseal fractures were treated for the first time using a technique reported hitherto primarily for fragility ankle and pilon fractures.
