Congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna due to neurofibromatosis.
Two cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna due to neurofibromatosis are reported. Similar radiographic changes in the ulna were found, with distortion of the capitulum and part of the trochlea and bowing of the radius. In one patient the head of the radius was dislocated and in the other it dislocated readily during pronation. A possible mechanism to explain the findings was suggested. ...
متن کاملGenu recurvatum following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis
We report a case of premature arrest of the proximal tibial apophysis leading to genu recurvatum deformity following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis. In the literature there are reported cases of genu recurvatum following early growth arrest at the proximal tibial apophysis, these typically followed fracture, skeletal traction or surgery and we believe this to be the ...
متن کاملClassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia: A delayed presentation
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare congenital disorder, which in cases of female genotype may result in virilization. Specific enzyme deficiencies in adrenocorticoid hormones biosynthetic pathway lead to excess androgen production causing virilization. Classic type presents early in infant life as salt losing or simple virilizing type, whereas non classic form presents late at puber...
متن کاملOwn clinical experience with functional bracing for treatment of pseudarthrosis and delayed union of the tibia.
BACKGROUND Functional bracing is a proven method of treatment of tibial fractures. Since 1998 we use individually produced braces made of "combicast" according to Schuren technique. The brace greatly limits the angulation and displacement allowing the axial compression, promoting the physiology of fracture healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS Functional bracing was applied in 51 patients, ageing fro...
متن کاملBiologic characteristics of fibrous hamartoma from congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.
BACKGROUND Fibrous hamartoma is a key pathologic component of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, a challenging and disabling bone disorder. We investigated the biologic characteristics of fibrous hamartoma cells in order to better understand the pathogenesis of this rare disease. METHODS Fibrous hamartoma tissues were surgically excised at the time of osteosynthesis from seven patients w...
