Congenital radioulnar synostosis in an active duty soldier: case report and literature review. [Case Reports, Journal Article, Review]
Mil Med 2000 May; 165(5):425-8.


Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRS) is a developmental deformity that interferes with pronation and supination of the upper extremity. CRS often results in functional, cosmetic, and cultural limitations. The purpose of this paper is to present a patient with CRS who is currently functioning as a generator mechanic in the U.S. Army and to review the literature for current treatment options. We know of no other individual in the U.S. Army who is on active duty status with this deformity.
