Abstract:
Congenital synostosis of the proximal ends of the radius and ulna is a rare malformation which often completely prevents pronation and supination of the forearm. The evidence for a genetic etiology is provided by noting its presence in a Klinefelter's syndrome and its positive familial history. Two cases of congenital radioulnar synostosis occurred in brothers have been experienced and are to be reported with review of references.
