pe Predominantly adolescent females are affected by a ratio of 4:1. The deformity is bilateral most often.[1] Predominantly adolescent females are affected by a ratio of 4:1. The deformity is bilateral most often.[1]
Clinical Features[edit | edit source]
- Initially asymptomatic, progressive clinical deformity
- Pain at wrist
Introduction[edit | edit source]
Madelung’s deformity is a condition of the wrist characterized by a shortened distal radius with volar–ulnar curvature and a dorsally prominent distal ulna.[2]This condition could be congenital or acquired[3]caused by an abnormal ligament discovered by Vickers and Nielsen[4]This ligament,5mm in diameter lies anterior to the volar-ulnar corner of the distal radial metaphysis, crosses the physis and inserts onto the lunate[5]. It is found more in females and is usually associated with a mesomelic form of dwarfism known as Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis[6].
The volar ulnar corner of the distal radius is a critical point located between the radial calcar, distal ulna, and carpus and it is responsible for maintaining stability while transferring force from the carpus[7].Due to the posiition of the Vickman's ligament of crossing the volar-ulnar part of the distal radial metaphysis it restricts movements of the wrist and causing reduced stability of the wrist joint[8]
A Vickers’ ligament is the feature to differentiate Madelung’s deformity from Madelung-like deformities.[9]
Epidemiology[edit | edit source]
- he ages of 6 and 13 years[10]
Pathogenesis[edit | edit source]
Premature growth plate arrest at the medial volar aspect of the distal radius causes Madelung deformity. Repetitive traumatic pressure may result in Madelung-like deformity. Mutation or absence of the short stature homeobox (SHOX) gene is thought to be the cause of congenital Madelung deformity.
Congenital Madelung deformity can occur as a part of Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) or Turner syndrome.[11]
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Key Features from X-Ray[edit | edit source]
- increased dorsal and radial convexity of the distal radius
- increased volar and ulnar tilt of the distal radial articular surface
- widened interosseous space
- relative dorsal position of the ulnar head
- pyramiding of the carpus[1]
MRI[edit | edit source]
MRI is done on the patients who need the surgical release of Vickers’ ligament to prevent deformity progression.[10]
Differential Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
- Turner syndrome
- Nail-patella syndrome
- Hereditary, multiple exostoses
- Ollier’s disease
- Achondroplasia
- Multiple epiphyseal dysplasias
- Mucopolysaccharidoses (Hurler and Morquio syndrome)[12]
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Conservative Management[edit | edit source]
Conservative management of Madelung’s deformity may be helpful for skeletally mature patients with the following measures:
- Physiotherapy
- to reduce pain
- Icing
- Cold whirlpool immersion
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
- limited pronation and supination suggests the need of exercise to help maintaining and/or increasing the power of involved muscles, i.e.- pronators and supinators[13]
- to reduce pain
- oral analgesics
- activity restriction
- volar splint[14] is used to immobilize tissue injuries which could be traumatic or non-traumatic conditions of the hand and the wrist[15]
