Two infants with fibular aplasia and related limb-reduction defects were born to mothers who were using copper-containing intrauterine contraceptive devices. The possibility of a casual association is consistent with the known hazards of intrauterine devices and cannot be excluded on the available experimental evidence. More information is urgently needed, and searches, including radiography of placenta and pelvis, should be made for such devices in mothers who have used them in the past and who give birth to malformed infants.
两名患有腓骨发育不全及相关肢体短小缺陷的婴儿，其母亲在孕期使用了含铜宫内节育器。这种偶然关联的可能性与已知的宫内节育器危害相符，且根据现有实验证据无法排除。迫切需要更多信息，对于过去使用过宫内节育器且产下畸形婴儿的母亲，应进行相关检查，包括胎盘和骨盆的X光检查，以查找此类装置。
