Ten children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia were treated with resection of pathologic bone, bone grafting, intramedullary rodding, compression with circular frame, simultaneous proximal tibia lengthening, and bone morphologic proteins. Thirteen operations were performed to achieve union. Four patients underwent simultaneous lengthening and four patients received recombinant human bone morphologic protein. Six children required complementary operations for residual ankle and knee valgus, and shortening. Union of the pseudarthrosis was achieved in all cases with lengthening up to 5 cm. This protocol is effective in achieving union of congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia; attention should be paid to the ankle joint to achieve functionality of the limb.

Background: Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a rare but devastating hereditary disease. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is caused by a mutation in the neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 gene (NRTK1). The condition is characterized by multiple injuries, recurrent infections, and mental retardation.

Purpose: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare condition typically manifesting within the first decade of life. The primary objectives of surgical intervention for CPT include achieving long-term bony union of the tibia, preventing or minimizing limb length discrepancies (LLD), avoiding mechanical axis deviations of the tibia and adjacent joints, and preventing refracture. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of current treatment methods for CPT to determine the most effective non-surgical and surgical management strategies for pediatric patients with this condition.

Background: Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT) is a rare pediatric condition presenting substantial challenges for orthopedic surgeons. Aiming to achieve bone union, with subsequent complications such as refractures being common. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the results of our intentional cross-union protocol and to compare these outcomes with those obtained from our previously used techniques.

Aim: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare, dysplastic condition causing significant disability in the lower limbs. A treatment aims to achieve long-lasting union, prevent limb length discrepancies, and prevent soft tissue lesions. Traditional surgery often yields satisfactory results, but amputation may be proposed in failed cases.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare condition with an unclear cause, but orthopedic surgeons should recognize and effectively treat it.
- A 15-year-old female softball player experienced shoulder pain with no prior injury and was diagnosed with this condition.
- After conservative treatment failed, she underwent surgery involving open reduction and internal fixation using a bone graft for better outcomes.
