Abstract:
Five cases of congenital pseuduthrosis of the tibia were treated at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei Medical Center from September 1971 to February 1982. In four cases, many cafe-au-lait spots were shown on the whole body skin, which are suggestive of neurofibromatosis. The evidence of hereditary factor is elicited on Case 2. Satisfactory bony union occurred in Case 1 & 3 in which the delayed autogenous bone graft was used. Among various methods of treatment of the congenitaeudarthrosis, in this study, the delayed autogenous bone graft and the free vascularized bone graft was recommended.
