Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Index Metacarpal Bone Treated with Distraction Osteogenesis Followed by Autologous Grafting

[摘要] The term “congenital pseudoarthrosis” refers to the semblance of a false joint formation which is present from birth. The soft tissue at the pseudoarthrotic site is composed of a variable admixture of fibrous tissue, fibrocartilage, and hyaline cartilage with evidence of enchondral ossification. Spaces and clefts are lined by a synovial-like tissue [1].
