Overview
Absent radius is a very rare medical condition in which the radius bone is not developed. This results in a typical position of the arm in which the wrist is plantarflexed and radially deviated.
The aetiology of radial club hand or radial dysplasia can be divided into:
- sporadic cases, which are not inherited and are presumed to be due to de novo genetic mutations
- syndromal cases; certain syndromes have a higher than expected association with radial dysplasia. Typically, organ systems are affected that develop at the same time as the upper limb:
- VACTERL or VATER syndrome
- Holt-Oram syndrome
- Edwards syndrome
- haematopoietic syndromes:
- Fanconi anemia
- Thrombocytopaenia with Absent Radius (TAR syndrome)
- craniofacial syndromes:
- Nager's syndrome
- Goldenhar's syndrome
- Mobius syndrome
- cleft lip and palate
- Treacher-Collins syndrome
- skeletal syndromes and isolated skeletal associations:
- teratogens:
- radiations
- valproic acid
- thalidomide
