Introduction: The Ilizarov method, a circular external fixator, is the most commonly used approach to assist in bone union for tibial fractures. Electrophysical agents play a crucial role in rehabilitation, offering significant benefits in speeding up the recovery process and reducing treatment time. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using electrophysical agents as adjunct treatment in the rehabilitation of tibial lengthening with the Ilizarov method. Methods: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) will be conducted. The review protocol has been registered on the PROSPERO platform (CRD42023432698). Adults aged 18 years and older undergoing tibial lengthening using the Ilizarov method will be included. Searches will be performed in the following databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline) via PubMed, Brazil Scientific Eletrononic Library Online (SciElo), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) via Virtual Health Library, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Web Of Science, Sciverse Scopus and Excerpta Medica dataBASE (Embase) via Elsevier, with no language or publication year restrictions. The methodological rigor and certainty of evidence of the included studies will be assessed using the Risk of Bias tool and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach, respectively. Study selection, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment will be conducted by two independent researchers. Expected outcomes: To provide robust information on how rehabilitation through electrophysical agents can impact bone lengthening using the Ilizarov method.
