Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is a rare dysplastic pathological condition of the lower limbs leading to significant disability. The etiology of this condition is not clear, but an association has been seen with neurofibromatosis type 1. It may be seen at birth or manifest at the walking age with pathological fractures leading to deformity and limb length discrepancy. The treatment of this condition is mainly surgical, with various options aimed at achieving bone union, correcting limb deformity, and restoring limb length. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and managing patients with this condition.
