Post-traumatic proximal radioulnar synostosis: results of surgical treatment and review of the literature
Background: Post-traumatic proximal radioulnar synostosis is a very rare and disabling condition whose surgical treatment has traditionally been viewed with pessimism. The results of the few case series in the literature are conflicting. Our aims were (1) to describe the clinical results of a case series treated surgically by a single elbow surgeon and (2) to review the literature. Methods: Twelve patients were evaluated. Preoperative radiographs and computed tomography scans were performed.
