Modified osteotomy (Kanaya’s procedure) for congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis with posterior dislocation of radial head (opens in a new tab)

Children with proximal CRUS and a posteriorly dislocated radial head had a modified Kanaya osteotomy that changes where the bone is cut compared with the original procedure. The change in osteotomy site led to better forearm rotation, especially improved supination, in most treated arms. Complications were limited, so this modified technique was considered a useful option for this specific deformity pattern.
