[Madelung's deformity: a case report and review of the literature].
Madelung's disease is a wrist deformity due to atrophy of the medial portion of the distal radial growth plate. It results in carpal anteromedial subluxation, limiting the range of motion. This skeletal dysplasia is rare and represents 1.7% of birth defects. The authors report a bilateral case in a 21 year old girl. This observational study allowed us to study the frequency, the signs and the means of diagnosis as well as adequate therapeutic measurements, in order to meet the expectations of patients.
