1 INTRODUCTION Radial dysplasia (RD) is a disfiguring and disabling congenital upper limb anomaly with a frequency of 1 in 6000–8000 live births, with perinatal mortality often resulting prior to birth (Ekblom et al., 2010; Giele et al., 2001; Koskimies et al., 2011). The severity of deformity can vary considerably but upper limb defects often include a shortened or absent radius, bowed ulna, radial deviation of the hand, thumb malformations, and can occur unilaterally or bilaterally.
