Synostosis or osseous union of any 2 adjacent bones can involve any part of the body. Synostosis between radius and ulna can take two forms, congenital and post Synostosis is a very rare congenital anomaly and most cases a post-traumatic, bilateral in 60% and more common in males. It is often part of syndromes such as Crouzon, Apert's and Poland's,4p Bixler syndrome, Genito multiple osteochondr...

Congenital radioulnar synostosis is a rare disorder resulting in the fusion of the radius and ulna from birth. Management is conservative. Operative treatment rarely succeeds.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to confirm that free fibular epiphyseal transfer is a suitable option for reconstruction of distal radius after sarcoma resection. In addition the authors discuss the potential inferior radioulnar dissociation that may accompany such type of reconstruction. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of three cases that underwent distal osteoarticular radial...

BACKGROUND Some cadaveric studies have reported the role of the distal oblique bundle (DOB) in the distal radioulnar joint stability. We aimed to determine whether the presence of the DOB can be identified and its thickness can be measured in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 468 wrist and forearm MRIs. Inclusion criteria were wrist or forearm ...

Congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis is a rare congenital anomaly that can be extremely disabling, especially when it occurs bilaterally or if there is severe hyperpronation. Currently, osteotomy to achieve a neutral or slightly pronated position is widely accepted for the management of patients who have severe pronation. The present study evaluates the result of two-stage double-level rot...

This report concerns a de novo reciprocal translocation between the long arms of the chromosomes 12 and 19 in a mentally retarded child with bilateral radioulnar synostosis, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and several minor congenital malformations.
