A 40-year-old woman presented with Madelung deformity and severe arthritic changes at both the radiocarpal and the distal radioulnar joints. She was treated by using her lunate as an osteochondral graft into the radius allowing reconstruction of the lunate fossa. The scaphoid and triquetrum were removed concomitantly and a Sauve-Kapandji procedure was performed. Complete bone healing was achieved. Ten years later, an excellent functional result was maintained, with a pain-free wrist, an acceptable wrist joint range of motion, as well as a favorable aesthetic appearance. This procedure may be indicated for patients with severe Madelung deformity with painful radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joints associated with severe arthritis changes.

Ovarian agenesis (OA) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of one or both ovaries, often associated with chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and structural deformities. The condition is frequently diagnosed in females presenting with primary amenorrhea and delayed sexual development. This case report highlights a unique presentation of bilateral ovarian agenesis in a patient with chromosome X translocation, bone modeling disease, and primary amenorrhea.

Article Synopsis
- - Scheie syndrome is a rare, milder form of mucopolysaccharidosis type I, which primarily affects multiple organ systems and is rarely linked to cancer, with only one prior case of associated brain tumors reported almost 30 years ago.
- - The case presented involves a 10-year-old girl diagnosed with Scheie syndrome, who also developed a brain tumor identified through MRI as a pilocytic astrocytoma, a rare type of brain tumor found in the fourth ventricle.
- - This situation emphasizes the need for careful evaluation of children with mucopolysaccharidoses for potential brain tumors, particularly when they exhibit signs of increased intracranial pressure, as early detection can prevent serious neurological issues.

Case: A 32-year-old woman with bilateral Madelung deformity presented with severe pain and arthritis of the radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joints. At final follow-up, 17 months for the left and 12 months for the right wrist, she had excellent functional results with no pain. Range of motion was 30° of flexion and 30° of extension with full pronosupination.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the Vickers ligament's role in Madelung deformity, suggesting it restricts growth of the palmar ulnar radius by anchoring the lunate to the radius.
- A total of 22 patients with Madelung deformities were examined using various imaging techniques, including 3D-CT and MRI, alongside surgical observations to analyze the structure and function of the Vickers ligament.
- Results indicate the Vickers ligament is not an aberrant structure but rather a modified version of existing ligaments, contributing to the pathogenesis of Madelung deformity due to early closure of the epiphysis in the wrist.
