  • Title: [Differential diagnosis of Madelung's deformity: Léri-Weill syndrome].
    Author: Ahmadi A, Zilch H.
    Journal: Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir; 1987 Nov; 19(6):315-7. PubMed ID: 3692340.
    Abstract:
    The Léri-Weill-syndrome is a very rare disease. The presence of Madelung's deformity is the important feature to distinguish this dyschondrosteosis from other system diseases of the skeleton combined with mesomelic dwarfism. Mesomelic dwarfism is mostly located in the lower extremity. If the deformity causes pain it is necessary to do a corrective osteotomy of the distal radius.
