Amniotic Band Syndrome Presenting with Pseudoarthrosis of the Tibia: A Case Report

1Clinical Research Department, Shriners Children's Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Case:
A 3-year-old female patient presented with pseudoarthrosis of the tibia secondary to amniotic band syndrome (ABS). Before presenting to our institution, the patient underwent a band release without improvement of the deformity. She was subsequently treated using a cross-union technique of the tibia and fibula synostosis. Radiographs taken 2 years postoperatively demonstrated complete union of the tibia and fibula and no refracture.
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates successful surgical intervention to treat ABS-related pseudoarthrosis. In cases where the deformity persists despite band release, the cross-union technique may be useful to consider.

Energy Bands in Solids
Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states...
