Radial longitudinal deficiency (RLD) is a multidimensional congenital hand difference encompassing skeletal, musculotendinous, and joint components. Managing RLD remains challenging, with numerous surgical procedures over the past century failing to achieve a stable, mobile, growing wrist without recurrence of the deformity. This review investigates new therapeutic approaches for RLD, delving into genetic, embryological, and histological aspects, including proximal muscle involvement and causes of recurrence.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive non-motile ciliopathy, caused by mutations in more than twenty genes. Their expression leads to the production of BBSome-building proteins or chaperon-like proteins supporting its structure. The prevalence of the disease is estimated at 1: 140,000 - 160,000 of life births.

Longitudinal erythronychia (LE) is defined as a longitudinal red band of the nail(s) and is classified as localized (involvement of 1 nail) or polydactylous (involvement of more than 1 nail). The differential diagnosis is distinct for these classifications. The etiologies of localized longitudinal erythronychia are most frequently benign subungual neoplasms and less often malignancies.
