Calcification associated with terminal defects of the upper extremity.
Four children who had calcifications associated with terminal defects of the upper extremity are reported. A review of the literature has revealed no previous report. Moreover, an examination of the radiographs of 65 children who had terminal defects of the upper limb failed to show any such calcifications. The exact cause of this association remains unknown.
