Bilateral congenital pseudarthrosis of the olecranon.
A case of bilateral congenital pseudarthrosis of the olecranon is described. The clinical features, radiological appearance and prognosis are distinct from the type of congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm reported previously. The lesion appeared to be a localised failure of ossification within the proximal ulnar metaphysis. Excision, stabilisation and bone grafting led to rapid fusion.
