Radial dysplasia congenital defect resulting in shortening of the forearm due to congenital shortening of the radius. Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire coined the term "hemimelia" around 1836-1837. Affected individuals may also have reduced limb functions abnormalities of the soft tissues, vasculature of the forearm. The management consist of splinting, stretching, and centralization. Physical therapy management plays a vital role in regaining hand function and improving quality of life. In severe cases, surgical correction such as osteotomy. Radial hemimelia is a rare disorder with 1/5000-30,000 live birth. A 16-year-old girl was admitted to Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH) with complaints of weakness of the right upper limb along with a tingling sensation from the past 1 year. She was operated on with ulnar osteotomy and physical therapy management was initiated which consists of regaining mobility and strength and making the patient functionally independent. We concluded that a well structure physical therapy protocol along with medical therapy post-surgery improved the overall status of the patient.
先天性桡骨发育不全导致前臂缩短，这是一种先天性桡骨缩短引起的缺陷。伊西多尔·乔治·圣希莱尔（Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire）于 1836-1837 年左右创造了“半肢畸形”一词。受影响的个体还可能存在肢体功能障碍、软组织异常、前臂血管异常。治疗方法包括夹板固定、拉伸和中心化。物理治疗管理在恢复手部功能和提高生活质量方面起着至关重要的作用。在严重的情况下，可能需要手术矫正，如截骨术。桡骨半肢畸形是一种罕见疾病，每 5000-30000 例活产中会出现 1 例。一名 16 岁女孩因右上肢无力和麻木感 1 年来到阿查里亚·文卡塔·巴维农村医院（AVBRH）就诊。她接受了尺骨截骨术，同时开始进行物理治疗管理，包括恢复活动度和力量，使患者能够独立生活。我们得出结论，术后良好的物理治疗方案和医疗治疗可以改善患者的整体状况。
