Summary:Background Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) is a rare condition caused by segmentation failure in embryonic life. The forearm is usually fixed in pronation, affecting the upper limb and hand functions. Treatment ranges from observation to surgical options to restore limb function and prevent disease recurrence. The study aimed to assess the functional outcome of patients with CRUS.
