Surgery for congenital forearm bone fusion in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique to separate the fused bones in the forearm of children born with proximal radioulnar synostosis, aiming to improve arm rotation and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 4 and 12 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis (forearm bones fused from birth).
- You have not had a broken arm or injury that caused the fusion.
- The fusion is at the elbow end of the forearm, not at the wrist.
- You do not have a neuromuscular disorder (such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy).

This study compares different ways to fix broken forearm bones in adolescents aged 10 to 16. It may help if your child has a fracture that needs surgery because the bones are too angled or shifted.
This trial looks at children who have had surgery to correct knock-knees (genu varum) and may still have a remaining twist or shape problem. It tests a specific growth-modifying technique (an 8-plate hemi epiphysiodesis) to help improve bone alignment as the child grows.
This trial compares two surgical methods for children with a specific type of rotated, fully shifted outer elbow fracture. It aims to find which approach works better for healing and restoring elbow function.
This study compares two surgical methods—casting versus percutaneous pinning—to treat certain distal (near the wrist) forearm fractures in children. It aims to find which method works best for healing and function, especially in specific fracture types.
This study compares two ways to treat certain forearm bone breaks in children: a cast versus flexible metal rods inside the bone. It aims to see which method works better for healing and hand/arm function.
This trial is testing two ways of using small wires (K-wires) to hold a child's broken elbow bone in place after it's been set. The goal is to see which method keeps the bone correctly aligned as it heals.
