What is radioulnar systemosis?
Radioulnar Systemosis is a medical term used to describe an abnormal connection between two forearm bones known as radius and ulna. This is usually a congenital condition, which means that the affected person is born with a defect and usually affects both weapons. In some cases, Radioulnar systemosis develops as a result of traumatic arm damage, as in the case of a fracture, including any of these two bones. Treatment generally includes surgical intervention, although surgery is not always successful. Any questions or concerns about the Radioulnar system system in an individual situation should be discussed with a physician or other doctor. In the first type, the head of the radius is either associated with the ulna or is completely missing. In another type of Radioulnar systemososis, the radius head has an unusual shape and is dislocated and connected with the upper shaft of the ulny. In the final type, the radius and the ulna are connected together by the ligament. Regardless of the exact type of connection, this condition prevents bending and working with normal way.
In most cases, Radioulnar Systemosis is an innate status, which means that a person is born with it. In more than half of these cases, both weapons are affected. Occasionally, these bones can occur after the trauma to the arm, especially fractures on the radius or ulna. Due to the scattering of the severity of the involvement caused by this condition, each patient must be evaluated individually to determine the best treatment option.
Surgical bone separation is often not recommended because this procedure carries a high percentage of positive results. In some cases, this may be the only surgimation of CAL and may allow further use of the affected arm. Given the potential risks, many doctors recommend physical therapy as a way to get as much as possible from the arm instead of attempting this procedure.
Surgery known as osteotomy can be useful in serious cases of Radioulnar SysteoStosy. This is a procedure that may include a change in the length of one of the bones or can be used to change the alignment of the arm's bones. Osteotomy often allows the affected arm to become functional, although the level of function may vary depending on the individual situation. Full use of the arm may not always be possible, even in surgical intervention.
