title: [A newborn with an abnormal position of the forearm].
abstract: A girl was born with a deformed position of the left forearm in pronation. On examination, supination was highly limited. Conventional radiography revealed a proximal radioulnar synostosis. The right forearm showed no abnormalities. Radioulnar synostosis is a pathological connection between the radius and the ulna, usually located in the proximal forearm. In 60% of the patients, this congenital lesion presents bilaterally.
