Free fibula flap to achieve bone union after congenital pseudoarthrosis of the forearm in neurofibromatosis: Technical report based on 3 cases, and literature review.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm bones (CPFBs) is rare, with only 106 reported cases, and is frequently associated with neurofibromatosis (NF). Approximately 5% of patients with NF develop pseudarthrosis, and 50% of patients with pseudarthrosis have NF. Achieving bone union is difficult in congenital pseudarthrosis.
