Congenital Deficiency of Distal Ulna and Dislocation of the Radial Head Treated by Single Bone Forearm Procedure

الملخص EN

Congenital deficiency of part of distal ulna affecting the distal radio-ulnar joint is a rare disorder.

It is even rarer to find the association of proximal radio-ulnar joint dislocation along with distal ulnar deficiency.

This type of congenital forearm anomaly is difficult to treat.

Conversion to a single bone forearm in the expense of pronation-supination movement is a viable option.

By doing so the elbow and wrist can be stabilized; however movement is possible in only one plane.

We are describing here a girl of 8 years having proximal radio-ulnar joint dislocation along with deficiency of distal ulna treated by converting into a single bone forearm.
