Abstract
Only 18 cases of congenital radial pseudarthrosis have been reported in the English literature; of these, 4 have been treated with free vascularized fibular graft. We present a case of a 9-year-old female patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 who underwent gradual distraction through the pseudarthrosis site and subsequent vascularized fibular grafting for isolated congenital pseudarthrosis of her left radius and concomitant longitudinal and angular deformity of the wrist joint. At the last follow-up, 10 years postoperatively, the patient has maintained bony union, with full wrist flexion–extension and forearm pronation–supination.
