Classification according to ICD-10 | |

Q71.4 | Longitudinal reduction defect of the radius |
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019) |
The radial aplasia is a rare malformation with complete or partial absence ( aplasia ) of the radius .
Synonyms are: longitudinal reduction defect of the radius; Ectromelia; Partial radial aplasia; Total radial aplasia; Radial Clubhand; Radial hemimelia; Latin Manus vara
Often there are other anomalies such as hypoplasia on the radial side of the wrist and hand, especially the thumb , so-called radial longitudinal reduction defect with the formation of a club hand .
In the context of syndromes
Radius aplasia is a hallmark of various syndromes :
- in Diplocheirie and Diplopodie
- Baller-Gerold syndrome
- De Toni Fanconi Syndrome
- Edwards Syndrome
- Holt-Oram Syndrome
- IVIC syndrome
- Rodent syndrome
- Patau syndrome
- Roberts Syndrome
- Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome
- TAR syndrome
- VACTERL association
Pathogenesis
This most common longitudinal malformation is caused by a disruption of embryonic development due to damaging influences, mostly between the 3rd and 8th week of pregnancy .
distribution
The frequency is stated to be between 1 in 30,000 and 1 in 100,000 live births, half of which are bilateral, somewhat more often in boys than in girls. Most cases occur sporadically, only about 20% are familial.
root cause
Mutations on chromosome 22 locus q11 were found in one patient .
There is also an X chromosomal inherited form.
Classification
A widely used classification is that of Bayne and Klug :
- Type 1: Distal radius shortened from normal shape
- Type 2: Radial hypoplasia with existing epiphyses proximal and distal, the rarest form
- Type 3: Distally partially missing radius
- Type 4: Completely missing radius, most common shape
Clinical manifestations
Clinical criteria are:
- Forearm shortened at birth with radial deviation of the hand (radial club hand). Decreased ability to bend the elbow joint ( contracture )
- Missing or hypoplastic thumb and metacarpals I.
- Stiffening of the metacarpophalangeal joint and proximal interphalangeal joint
- Absence of the flexor pollicis longus muscle , hypoplasia, or absence of the flexor carpi radialis and radial carpal extensors ( extensor carpi radialis brevis and extensor carpi radialis longus ). Hypoplasia and abnormal insertion of the extensors of the index finger and middle finger
diagnosis
It can be recorded using fine ultrasound even before birth . The extent of bone changes is documented in the X-ray .
therapy
Treatment should start early with a compression splint. An operation indication should be clarified at the age of 6–12 months, especially if the index finger is to be converted into a thumb later.
Diseases in animals
A hemimelia of the radius occurs occasionally in domestic cats, and affected animals are also known as " kangaroo cats ".
