Sumario:BACKGROUND: Congenital radioulnar synostosis is a rare malformation of the upper limb, with functional limitations of the limb. CASE REPORT: A 10-year-old child with pain and restricted mobility of the elbow joint was admitted to the hospital. Plain film radiography and CT examination was performed. Radiological examinations showed a congenital radioulnar synostosis. The child underwent surgical treatment – derotational osteotomy. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic imaging including computed tomography with three-dimentional (3D) reconstructions, preceding surgery enables planning of the surgical treatment.
