Abstract
Congenital
humero-radio-ulnar synostosis is an extremely rare condition. So far
approximately 30 cases of congenital humero-radio-ulnar synostosis have been
reported worldwide. To the best of our knowledge, no such type of case has been
reported in India as well as Asia. The case
presented here is of a 7 month old male baby, born with right sided
humero-radio-ulnar synostosis with no
other musculoskeletal defect.In the right upper extremity the congenital
defect was due to failure of cavitation during embryologic development. We believe that the case presented here deserves
reporting not only because or rarity of the disease but also due to its
uniqueness. There was neither any associated hypoplasia of upper
extremity nor there was any familial or syndromic association. An attempt is
also made to do brief literature search.
