Abstract
Post-traumatic radio-ulnar synostosis is an unusual but serious complication of adult forearm fractures. This is the first report of radio-ulnar synostosis following external fixation to be described in the English literature. A 52-year-old man sustained a fracture of the distal radius and ulna which was managed by external fixation. Following this, he developed a radio-ulnar synostosis at the pin-track site. The synostosis was successfully removed and he regained significant rotatory movement of his forearm.
