Synostosis
Synostosis (plural: synostoses) is fusion of two or more bones. It can be normal in puberty, fusion of the epiphyseal plate to become the epiphyseal line, or abnormal. When synostosis is abnormal it is a type of dysostosis. Examples of synostoses include:
- craniosynostosis – an abnormal fusion of two or more cranial bones;
- radioulnar synostosis – the abnormal fusion of the radius and ulna bones of the forearm;
- tarsal coalition – a failure to separately form all seven bones of the tarsus (the hind part of the foot) resulting in an amalgamation of two bones; and
- syndactyly – the abnormal fusion of neighboring digits.
Synostosis within joints can cause ankylosis.
