Abstract
Congenital humeroradial synostosis can occur as an isolated clinical entity or as part of a syndrome. Bilateral elbow fixed flexion deformity is very incapacitating and challenging to
treat. Here we present the case of a boy with fixed flexion
deformity of both elbows due bilateral humeroradial
synostosis. Other characteristic features of multiple
synostoses syndrome were also present in this child, his elder brother and mother. We elected to improve the position of the right elbow by adapting the modified French osteotomy described by Bellemore et al.
