Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure to correct a rare condition where the two bones in the forearm are fused together, limiting rotation. The surgery involves cutting and repositioning the bones, then using Kirschner wires to hold them in place. The study will enroll one child aged 4 to 12 to assess whether the procedure safely improves arm function.
