Congenital radioulnar synostosis: a case report of a probable subtype

J Orthop Sci. 2004;9(3):314-6. doi: 10.1007/s00776-003-0765-0.

Abstract

We present a case of bilateral congenital radioulnar synostosis in which computed tomography examination revealed osseous outgrowths of the ulna. Their excision resulted in 125 degrees range-of-motion of the forearm rotation.
