Abstract

Read online

Congenital humeroradial synostosis (CHRS) is a rare musculoskeletal condition that significantly affects the mobility of the elbow joint. They occur in various types and forms depending on the types and numbers of bones involved at the elbow. CHRS may present with elbow deformity and limitation of function. Appropriate timely diagnosis and counseling are required since CHRS is mostly managed conservatively according to literature and may prevent avoidable fractures of the radius from attempts by parents to straighten the flexed fixed elbow and finally offer adequate time for delayed surgical intervention which is usually ineffective and unhelpful.
