About this Item

Print on Demand. This book delves into a remarkable case study of a child born without radii, a rare condition resulting in the absence of both forearm bones. Through meticulous dissection of the infant's upper extremities, the authors uncover profound alterations in muscle development and intricate adaptations in skeletal anatomy. This detailed anatomical exploration illuminates the complexities of human development and the remarkable plasticity of the musculoskeletal system in response to congenital anomalies. The findings provide valuable insights into the intricate mechanisms underlying human embryology and congenital disorders. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

A rare congenital case study details a newborn with complete bilateral absence of the radius and the resulting changes in the entire upper limb.

This edition presents a careful dissection and analysis to understand how muscles, nerves, and vessels adapt when the radius is missing.

The article documents the autopsy findings, the partial differentiation of muscles, and the unusual tendon patterns. It discusses how these anatomical differences influence limb function and explores potential surgical options, such as tendon transplantation, to improve the efficiency of the affected limb.

• Detailed description of muscle development and tendon absence across the shoulder, arm, and forearm.
• Maps of nerve and blood vessel distribution and their clinical implications.
• Discussion of how anatomical variation informs potential reconstructive approaches.
• Context for readers interested in embryology, anatomy, and surgical planning.

Ideal for students and professionals in anatomy, medicine, and related fields seeking a rigorous example of upper-limb congenital anomaly.
