Familial Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the UlnaFrom the Department of Orthopaedics, Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK Correspondence: M. A. C. Craigen MB, BS, FRCS (Orth), Lecturer in Orthopaedics, Department of Orthopaedics, Southampton General Hospital, Tremona Road, Southampton, SO9 4XY, UK. A mother and daughter, both presented with congenital pseudarthrosis of the ulna due to neurofibromatosis. The daughter is one of identical twins, the second twin not having a pseudarthrosis. The mothers uncle also had pseudarthrosis of the tibia. This suggests a complex variable genetic inheritance pattern for pseudarthrosis in neurofibromatosis. Despite having had no treatment, the mother had minimal symptoms, minimal deformity, and no radial head dislocation.
