Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Madelung's deformity is a rare condition of the wrist characterized by a shortened distal radius with volar-ulnar curvature and a dorsally prominent distal ulna. It occurs predominantly in adolescent females who present with pain, decreased wrist mobility, and deformity. Although its aetiology remains unclear, its treatment is becoming more refined. Several different surgical techniques have recently been described in the literature. This review addresses Madelung's deformity and suggests an algorithm for management based on current literature and the authors' own clinical experience.
