Case Discussion
Radial hemimelia is a congenital absence of the radius. This may be a partial or total absence of the radius. It may be associated with other digit abnormalities.
It is also often related to associated congenital abnormalities as in this case with tracheo-esophageal fistula. This forms part of the VACTERL association.
