Outcomes were assessed using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score and the Quick-DASH questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety-seven patients (122 forearms) were included. Forearm positions were predominantly neutral or excessively pronated. Type 3 Congenital radioulnar synostosis was the most common radiographic finding. A total of 52 patients (66 forearms) underwent proximal derotational osteotomy, achieving a neutral forearm position in 61.9% of cases. Six complications were reported. The mean follow-up was 4.5\u2009\u00b1\u20093.4\u2009years. MEPS averaged 90.6\u2009points and Quick-DASH 18.5 points. No significant differences were found between operated and non-operated cases. MEPS results were good or excellent in 77.9% of patients, while only 31% reported a Quick-DASH\u2009\u2264\u20097points.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present the largest case series of pediatric congenital radioulnar synostosis to date.
