Absent radius

Absent radius

Absent radius is a very rare medical condition in which the radius bone is not developed. This results in a typical position of the arm in which the wrist is plantarflexed and radially deviated.

It is associated with the following conditions:

* Thrombocytopaenia-absent-radius syndome
* VATER association
* Holt-Oram syndrome
* Fanconi anemia
* Trisomy 18
