Congenital radioulnar synostosis is a rare bone disorder that may be isolated or associated with other disorders and that is characterized by failure of segmentation of the radius and ulna during embryological development, causing limited rotational movements of the forearm, which may lead to difficulties with some activities of daily living.
Features include very common findings: Abnormal morphology of the radius, Radioulnar synostosis, Limited elbow movement, and Limited pronation/supination of forearm and others; and sometimes findings: Abnormality of the musculature of the upper arm, Dislocated radial head, Shoulder pain, and Wrist pain. 13 total HPO annotations.
