Resumen

IntroductionAn unusual form of congenital deformity of the hand is described,which consists of radial club hand deformity with the whole of the radius present butdislocated at proximal and distal ends. It is an infrequent variety, so we propose asurgical correction option. There is only one case described in the literature with thecharacteristic of having complete radio present and there are no reports of treatment,therefore, that would be thefirst report of a treatment.Material and MethodsThe 4-year-old patient was evaluated in our hospitaland taken to surgical correction, a shortening osteotomy of the radius wasperformed with closure of the distal radioulnar space, ulnar carpal capsulotomy withreinsertion of the capsule to the distal radius and centralization of the carpus over theradius.ResultsIn thefirst month of the postoperative period, the correction of the deformityis maintained, checking it radiologically andclinically there is improvement of the grip.ConclusionsSurgical correction of the deformity in the radial club hand with radius,using the described surgical technique.
