Abstract
ongenital humeroradial synostosis (CHRS) is a rare musculoskeletal condition that signif icantly affects the mobility of the elbow joint. They occur in various types and forms de pending on the types and numbers of bones involved at the elbow. CHRS may present with
elbow deformity and limitation of function. Appropriate timely diagnosis and counseling
are required since CHRS is mostly managed conservatively according to literature and may
prevent avoidable fractures of the radius from attempts by parents to straighten the flexed
fixed elbow and finally offer adequate time for delayed surgical intervention which is usu ally ineffective and unhelpful.
