Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare paediatric disease presenting with a bowing deformity of the tibia at birth or within the first decade of life. It is most commonly associated with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). For children with CPT, pathological fracture of the tibia eventually occurs, resulting in persistent nonunion of the fracture site. If left untreated, leg deformities, joint stiffness, leg-length discrepancy and pain will persist. Diagnosis is done clinically and through X-ray imaging, with numerous classifications based on the severity of bowing and presence of fracture or intraosseous lesion.
