Y. Allieu et al., Congenital pseudarthrosis of both forearm bones: Long-term results of two cases managed by free vascularized fibular graft, J HAND S-AM, 24A(3), 1999, pp. 604-608
We analyzed the clinical and radiographic outcome of 2 cases of congenital
pseudarthrosis of both forearm bones managed by free vascularized fibular g
rafts. 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 degr
ees. The second patient, a 17-year-old boy, underwent a 1-bone forearm proc
edure using a vascularized fibular graft. After surgery, he had a stable fo
rearm that was shortened by approximately 15 cm. In these 2 cases of congen
ital pseudarthrosis of both forearm bones, bone union was obtained by means
of vascularized fibular graft. Copyright (C) 1999 by the American Society
