Congenital Unilateral Synostosis of Elbow Associated with Multiple Hand Anomalies (Case Report)
Abstract
Congenital synostosis of the elbow is a very rare malformation of the upper limb. We present two similar cases with congenital humeroradial synostosis in association with absence of the ulnar carpals, fourth and fifth metacarpals and phalanges, and syndactily between the second and third fingers. Both cases were male and their anomalies were on the right side. In the second case, an Aitken type-2 proximal focal deficiency of femur was also present.
