Management of Congenital Radio-Ulnar Synostosis
Omar Nasser Radwan Abdo;
Abstract
SUMMARY
I
n summarization, congenital radioulnar synostosis is
functionally disabling disease. It is thought to be caused by a
failure of longitudinal segmentation with persistence of the
cartilaginous anlage between the radius and ulna during the
seventh week of development. The aetiology is unknown but a
genetic basis has been suggested through the association with a
positive family history. Different methods of management of
congenital radioulnar synostosis were described; one is the
mobilization to separate the radioulnar synostosis. Other is
rotational osteotomies to place the forearm in more functional
position.
Criteria for the management are based on the degree of
the rotational deformity of the forearm.
