Synostose

The synostose generally gets busy to indicate the welding of the bones of cranium.

Another example of synostose is the radio-cubital synostose which is characterized by a welding of congenital origin between the épiphyses (end of the long bones) higher of the radius and the ulna. This anomaly prevents the movements of Pronation (to take an object) and of Supination (to tighten the hand upwards the palm). This synostose is very rare, only 350 cases were indexed in the literature. The scarcity of this malformation often leads to a late clinical diagnosis. The professors Cleary and Omer reported an Middle Age of the patient to the 6 years diagnosis, extending 6 months to 22 years. The two sexes are affected in an equal way, and 60% of the cases are bilateral.
