Abstract

Ankylosis around the elbow has been classified into humeroradial, humeroulnar, and humeroradioulnar types. The humeroradial synostosis are commonest, with approximately 150 cases reported worldwide. Here, we present a unique case of bilateral humeroradial synostosis. The case presented here is of a 18-month boy, born with bilateral humeroradial synostosis and no other anamoly. We believe that the case presented here deserves reporting because it is unique in that it has no syndromic association and is a sporadic case. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported from Asia.
