Congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna: a case report. 1979

V Hadlow

A case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna is described. The inevitability of dislocation of the radial head in the early years of life, is pointed out. Following dislocation of the radial head, creation of a stable single-bone forearm is necessary to prevent loss of hand function due to effective shortening of the long flexors. A method of radioulnar fusion is described. Following such fusion good hand function can be anticipated, as the vital humeroulna radiocarpal joints are intact.
