Radioulnar synostosis is a rare pathological fusion of the tow forearm bones, when seen in pediatric must differentiate between congenital Synostosis versus post traumatic synostosis, radioulnar uncommon especially if it was closed fracture and treated conservatively. We describe 5 year old girl who presented with 1 following radial head subluxation, full pronation limitation supination compens...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the incidence of symptomatic radioulnar synostosis/heterotopic ossification after distal biceps tendon repair in patients receiving indomethacin prophylaxis. We hypothesized that indomethacin use postoperatively would decrease the occurrence of symptomatic synostosis. METHODS A single-center retrospective record review identified 124 patients undergoing distal ...

Congenital distal tibiofibular synostosis is a very rare anomaly. The cases of congenital tibiofibular synostosis reported in the literature so far have been confined to the proximal tibiofibular joint. We present an unusual case of tibiofibular synostosis that involves the distal part of the tibia and fibula based on characteristic X-ray, CT, and MRI findings.

ABSTRACT We present here a unique case of humeroradial synostosis. These anomalies are due to longitudinal failure of differentiation. Approximately 150 cases of humeroradial synostosis have been reported worldwide, the majority of which are familial in nature or associated with syndromes. The case presented here involves an infant aged 1½ months, born with bilateral humeroradial synostosis wit...

Non-syndromic bilateral humeroradial synostosis is a very rare congenital anomalies of the upper limbs. This condition often occurs in conjunction with various syndromes and is associated with a positive family history. Herein, we report a 6 year old boy with non-syndromic bilateral humeroradial synostosis, without aplasia, hypoplasia or family history. Both elbows were constant at 90 degrees f...

PURPOSE To evaluate the morphologies of congenital C2-3 synostosis in 25 patients. METHODS Radiographs of 11 males and 14 females aged 5 to 74 years with congenital C2-3 synostosis were reviewed. All cases were found incidentally on radiographs when presenting with neck/shoulder discomfort/pain. RESULTS 13 of the patients had spondylosis in 21 segments: C1-2 (n=1) and C3-4 (n=1), C4-5 (n=7)...

The aim of this study is to determine the different therapeutic options described for the treatment of radioulnar synostosis, and report our experience with posterior interosseous antegrade flow pedicled flap with technical amendments. Two patients, who were treated with the designed flap, and with more than one year of follow-up, were reviewed. The technical innovations, end result and complic...

We report on a patient with humeroradioulnar synostosis and lambdoid synostosis. The case differs from three previously described cases in minor details, but the upper limb abnormalities are strikingly similar.

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...
