Congenital humeroradial synostosis (CHRS) is a rare musculoskeletal condition that significantly affects the mobility of the elbow joint. They occur in various types and forms depending 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 usually ineffective and unhelpful.
先天性肱桡关节融合(CHRS)是一种罕见的肌肉骨骼疾病,会显著影响肘关节的活动度。根据肘关节受累骨骼的类型和数量,其有多种类型和形式。CHRS可能表现为肘部畸形和功能受限。由于根据文献,CHRS大多采用保守治疗,且可能避免因家长试图伸直屈曲固定的肘部而导致的桡骨不可避免的骨折,并最终为延迟手术干预提供足够时间,而延迟手术通常无效且无助,因此需要进行适当及时的诊断和咨询。
