Radioulnar synostosis.
Radioulnar synostosis is a rare condition that exists in two forms: congenital and post-traumatic. Although both may involve either a bony or a fibrous union between the radius and ulna, they differ considerably in their etiologies, treatment, and prognosis. This article explores both of these conditions.
