  • Title: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna treated by free vascularized fibular graft: a case report and review of methods of treatment.
    Author: Masterson E, Earley MJ, Stephens MM.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1993 Jun; 18(3):285-8. PubMed ID: 8345250.
    Abstract:
    Congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna is an extremely rare condition for which current surgical techniques have been unsatisfactory in restoring a normal two-bone forearm. We report a case which was treated by excision of the ulnar pseudarthrosis and interposition of a free vascularized fibular graft with a skin island to monitor anastomotic patency. Forearm rotation has been restored and the potential for normal forearm growth has been preserved.
