Posttraumatic radioulnar synostosis may occur after fracture of both bones in the forearm. Distal Location of the syonstosis is reported to be the rarest form. We presented a child with traumatic distal radial epiphyseal arrest in association with distal radioulnar synostosis, whisch is a very rare instance. Excision of the synostosis, muscular interposition, Sauve-Kapandji procedure, and distal ulnar epiphysiodesis provided a succesful result.
