We report a case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna along with generalized neurofibromatosis (type I). The patient had a good clinical outcome after single-bone forearm reconstruction.

It prevents the loss of hand function by the effective shortening of flexor tendons and spares movements of the humeroulnar and radiocarpal joints.
