Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm.
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm is a rare condition in which traditional treatment methods have proven unsatisfactory. We report a case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the radius and ulna successfully treated by resection of the distal ulna and excision of the radial pseudarthrosis with replacement by an interpositional free vascularized fibular graft.
