Abstrakt: • Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm is very uncommon and challenging to treat. • Masquelet technique is an attractive option for this difficult problem. • The management of congenital pseudarthrosis of forearm especially in pediatric population requires support in specialized center. Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm (CPF) is an uncommon entity frequently described in association with neurofibromatosis type 1. Surgical treatment Is required. This is a challenging pathology in pediatric orthopedic surgery due to the difficulty of achieving a satisfying result in terms of bone defect healing. Many techniques are described such us free vascularized fibula, illizarov and induced membrane. We describe a first case of the forearm non union associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 successfully treated with 2 steps of induced membrane. Whatever the technique selected it's remain challenging problem in pediatric orthopaedic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
