Operative and non-operative treatment of congenital radio-ulnar synostosis in children: Results from a multicenter study
We present the largest case series of pediatric congenital radioulnar synostosis to date. Mild deformities caused minimal disability and required no surgery. For severe malrotation, proximal derotational osteotomy was safe, with low complication rates, restoring a neutral forearm position and yielding outcomes comparable to non-surgical management of mild cases.
