Sporadic Class II Congenital humeroradial synostosis and Left Micromelia in a three-and-a-half-months female Ghanaian infant✩

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.
