Congenital pseudarthrosis of both foreearm bones: Long-term results of two cases managed by free vascularized fibular graft

We analyzed the clinical and radiographic outcome of 2 cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of both forearm bones managed by free vascularized fibular grafts. The follow-up periods were 17 and 13 years, respectively. The first patient, a 4-year-old girl, had reconstruction of both the radius and ulna...

Zusammenfassung:We analyzed the clinical and radiographic outcome of 2 cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of both forearm bones managed by free vascularized fibular grafts. The follow-up periods were 17 and 13 years, respectively. The first patient, a 4-year-old girl, had reconstruction of both the radius and ulna by a vascularized fibular graft, restoring pronation/supination to 110 degrees. The second patient, a 17-year-old boy, underwent a 1-bone forearm procedure using a vascularized fibular graft. After surgery, he had a stable forearm that was shortened by approximately 15 cm. In these 2 cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of both forearm bones, bone union was obtained by means of vascularized fibular graft.
