Fracture of the two forearm bones and congenital radioulnar synostosis: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis limits prono-supination and is often well tolerated. Only one publication in the literature describes a fracture associated with this malformation. We report a case of radius and ulna shaft fractures in a 35-year-old patient with well-tolerated bilateral proximal congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis.

Keywords: Congenital radio-ulnar synostosis; forearm fracture; rotational osteotomy.
