title: Post-traumatic radio-ulnar synostosis.
abstract: Five years after an untreated ulnar fracture, a young man seen with no active or passive forearm rotation was found to have a radio-ulnar synostosis, which was surgically excised with interposition of a silicone membrane and soft tissue to decrease any tendency for new formation of the synostosis.
