Radial clubhand-like deformity resulting from osteomyelitis of the distal radius

Abstract

Radial clubhand is an uncommon congenital deformity in which a part of or a whole radius is absent. This is a report on two cases of radial clubhand-like deformity resulting from osteomyelitis of the distal radius in which the distal radial metaphysis was destroyed and resorbed, resulting in a defect in that part. This is a very rare condition. The patients were successfully treated by cancellous bone graft and plating, combined with ulna shortening. At follow-up after 1 year, both patients showed good functional and cosmetic results.
