Zhonghua Yi Xue za Zhi [Chinese medical journal] 2021 September 22
The medical records of 13 cases (16 limbs) diagnosed with ulnar club hand in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between 1966 and 2016 were reviewed. The radiological characteristics of upper limb bones, the shape and function of shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand were recorded. The surgical options include radial wedge osteotomy, ulnar anlage excision, release of syndactyly or narrowed first web, and release of camptodactyly were performed to correct deformities. The subjective evaluation of patients or their families was recorded. Thirteen patients with 16 affected limbs were identified with ulnar club hand. There were 7 males and 6 females with an average age of 12.4 years (range:1-29 years). Among them, 3 cases were bilateral, and 10 cases were unilateral. Six patients had right-side involvement and 4 patients had left-side involvement. Based on Bayne's classification, there were 4 type Ⅰ, 7 type Ⅱ, 4 type Ⅲ, and 1 type Ⅳ. The affected extremity was shorter than the normal limb. In patients with type Ⅰ deformity, the elbows were stable with normal range of motion, the wrists were stable with almost normal range of motion, and the hands were normal. In patients with type Ⅱ deformity, the stability of elbow was variable, and hand deformities were common. In patients with type Ⅲ deformity, the elbows were unstable, and hand deformities were common. The elbow of the patient with type Ⅳ deformity showed radiohumeral synostosis without hand deformity. Surgical treatment was performed on 9 limbs. Mean follow-up was 22.3 months(range: 8-48 months), the subjective evaluation of patients or their families was satisfactory or relatively satisfactory. The surgical treatments of ulnar club hand usually focus on correction of hand and forearm deformities. The surgical result is good.
