Bhagyashri 15 year old girl came with a rare cosmetically disfiguring deformity of her left hand. She was suffering from rare deformity called reverse Madelung deformity. This is a complex 3 dimensional deformity involving one of the forearm bones in the region of the wrist joint. Due to abnormal growth of lower end of radius bone the small bones of hand are pushed behind leading to unacceptable appearance and movement limitations.
She underwent complex three dimensional correction of the deformity with Ilizarov technique.
After cutting her radius bone in the lower end a special ring with its special attachments was fitted around wrist region and then the bone was moved with the machine in three dimensions correcting all the aspect of the deformity.
