Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the complication rates of iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for scaphoid nonunions, hypothesizing that these rates would be lower than those found in adult populations.
- Records from 119 surgeries performed between 1995 and 2016 were analyzed, revealing that only 10 wrists (8.4%) had donor site complications, mainly including pain beyond 30 days and numbness, but no infections or reoperations occurred.
- The findings suggest that donor site morbidity in pediatric patients is lower than reported in older populations, with female patients showing a higher tendency for complications compared to males.
Background: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the fibula (CPF) is a rare disorder characterized by a deficiency in the continuity of the fibula and can lead to progressive ankle valgus malalignment. An existing classification system for CPF is imperfect and may contribute to heterogeneity in reporting and discrepancy of outcomes in the literature.
Methods: Fifteen patients with CPF treated at our institution between 1995 and 2017 were retrospectively identified.

Purpose Of Review: Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia and fibula are rare conditions that share common treatment strategies. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the recent developments in treatments for both conditions.
Recent Findings: Recent literature has focused on the use of BMP and on gait analysis as a tool for measuring long-term functional outcomes.
