Introduction Loss of radius either due to trauma or infection results in a deformity resembling congenital radial club hand. This difficulty perform hand functions and cosmetic appearance is called acquired There are few case reports for the treatment this severe deformity, but there no proper guidelines management disease. From our experience, we decided provide Objectives To evaluate outcome ...

Radial club hand is a complex congenital abnormality of the radial or pre-axial border of the upper extremity. It has a wide range of phenotypes from hypoplasia of the thumb to complete absence of the radius and the first ray. Centralization with tendon transfer is a popular method for maintaining the correct position of radial club hand. On the other hand, various corrections were devised, e.g...

Background: Congenital radial club hand (RCH), as a rare congenital deformity of the upper extremity, is characterized by a wide spectrum of malformations including radial deviation. Centralization surgery is the standard treatment for severe cases that have been associated with a high rate of recurrence. This study reports the long-term results and recurrence rate of radial deviation following...

Acquired radial club hand caused by infection has been reported occasionally. We report a rare case of acquired radial club hand with an associated septic dislocation of the elbow, primarily caused by compartment syndrome following venous cannulation. The deformity and instability were treated with distraction using an external fixator followed by a centralisation procedure. At the 2-year follo...

The risk and consequences of an elbow or a wrist contracture are lower during a forearm lengthening than during a lower limb lengthening. This kind of complication can mostly be avoided by an active and intensive regimen of physiotherapy. However, there are some challenges to deal with in treating the disorder multiple exostoses and the radial club hand, including the lack of consensus on the b...

A child with almost total loss of the radius from h judicious diaphysial sequesfrectomy after acute haematogenous osteomyelitis developed a severe radial club hand and loss of function. She was admitted to the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, where the ulna was “radialised” producing a one-bone forearm and a stable and functional limb. This unusual case is reported to discourage premature ...

Radial club hand refers to deficiency along the preaxial side of the extremity. Complete absence is the most common longitudinal deficiency. It is diagnosed after inspection of the forearm and an X-ray. It is however imperative to look for associated congenital abnormalities or syndromes regarding the cardiovascular system, renal system, vertebral column, blood cells and digestive system of the...

OBJECTIVE To establish that the bilobed flap as soft tissue release component for the radial club hand is superior to the z-plasty technique in type III and IV radial club hands. METHODS This study was conducted at the Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan, from 2009 to 2015, and comprised patients with radial club hands operated by a single consultant plastic surgeon. Soft tissue...
