title: [Superior radio-cubital congenital synostosis. Computed tomographic scanning studies and value of osteotomy fixation using an external fixator].
abstract: The purpose of this case report was to describe the radiological features by computed tomography and a modification in the fixation of the rotation after the usual transverse osteotomy: an external fixation was used; it allows post-operative vascular assessment with the possibility to derotate the correction in case of circulatory or neural impairment.
