WHAT DOES SYNOSTOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

synostosis

Synostosis

Synostosis means fusion of two bones, it can be normal in puberty, fusion of the epiphysis, or abnormal. When synostosis is abnormal it is a type of dysostosis. Examples of synostoses include: craniosynostosis- being an abnormal fusion of two or more cranial bones; radioulnar synostosis- being the abnormal fusion of the radius and ulna bones of the forearm; tarsal coalition - being a failure to separately form all seven bones of the tarsus resulting in an amalgamation of two bones; and syndactyly - being the abnormal fusion of neighboring digits. Synostosis within joints can cause ankylosis. Radioulnar synostosis is one of the more common failures of separation of parts of the upper limb. There are two general types: one is characterized by fusion of the radius and ulna at their proximal borders; the other is fused distal to the proximal radial epiphysis. Most cases are sporadic, congenital and less often post-traumatic, bilateral in 60%, and more common in males. Familial cases in association with autosomal dominant transmission appear to be concentrated in certain geographic regions, such as Sicily.
