Madelung deformity: Case report

Abstract:

Madelung deformity is a rare alteration of the wrist joint of unknown prevalence due to the few cases reported. It has been linked to SHOX gene mutations. Madelung deformity is charac­terized by alterations of the radius, carpus and ulna, predominantly bilateral and mainly seen in female patients at the beginning of the adoles­cence. We report the clinical case of a 17-year-old female patient presenting the characteristic clinical and radiographic deformities.
