Abstract
Acute elbow extension deficit is an unusual phenomenon that has been observed in patients with congenital radioulnar synostosis. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl with congenital radioulnar synostosis who developed acute extension deficit of the right elbow and whose elbow range of motion was restored following lateral capsular release.
