Introduction
Radial Club Hand is a rare congenital condition characterized by the underdevelopment or absence of the radius bone in the forearm, leading to hand and wrist deformities. It differs from other congenital hand conditions based on the specific absence or deformity of the radius bone.
Common causes of Radial Club Hand are typically considered genetic or developmental, with a multifactorial etiology involving early limb development variations.
Club hand is a rare birth defect also known as ‘Radial club hand’ with-
- Deformity of hand with wrist perpendicular to the forearm
- Absent thumb
- Limited elbow movements.
- The entire radius bone (one of the large bones of the forearm)could be absent.
