  • Title: Congenital terminal transverse deformity of upper limb: clinical and radiological findings in a sporadic care.
    Author: Malik S, Afzal M.
    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2013 Mar; 23(3):219-20. PubMed ID: 23458049.
    Abstract:
    Congenital transverse limb anomalies are rare, which affect upper and/or lower limbs and may accompany several syndromic malformations. We present a sporadic male subject with congenital, unilateral transverse arrest of the left hand. The affected arm was observed to be short with reduced zeugopod and truncated palm. Fingers were represented by five bead-like nubbins. Roentgenographic examination revealed short radius and ulna with hypoplastic distal heads, absent carpals/metacarpals, and a hypoplastic bony island in each nubbin. Consanguinity was denied, and the subject had no symptoms in the orofacial, neurological and skeletal systems. Detailed clinical data with literature survey is presented.
