Purpose: This study seeks to investigate demographics of patients with Madelung deformity in a large, geographically diverse sample and understand patient and caregiver perceptions of the impact of this condition. We hypothesized that patients with untreated Madelung deformity have greater pain and lower function compared to the normal population but are less affected than the chosen control group, namely, patients with proximal radioulnar synostosis (PRUS).
Methods: This retrospective study queried the Congenital Upper Limb Differences (CoULD) Registry, a multicenter registry of patients treated in tertiary care pediatric hospitals. We searched patients enrolled as of July 2022 and identified 3,980 total patients and 66 (1.7%) with a diagnosis of Madelung deformity. We reviewed demographics and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS; peer relations, depressive symptoms, pain interference, and upper extremity function domains) scores at time of enrollment. We used a matched cohort comparison with propensity scoring for 50 patients with Madelung deformity and 50 patients with PRUS (control cohort).
Results: Patients with Madelung deformity presented at an average age of 13.1 years (± 2.1 years). Ninety-eight percent were female, and 82% were White. Seventy-four percent had distal radius-only deformity. Upper extremity PROMIS scores in both the Madelung deformity and the PRUS groups were significantly "worse" than normal, confirming our hypothesis. The Madelung deformity and PRUS cohort scores were not consistently different from one another. PROMIS scores from all other domains, including pain interference, were similar to, or better than normal for both groups, disproving the second part of our hypothesis.
Conclusions: Patients with Madelung deformity averaged 13 years of age and were nearly all female, and the majority had only distal involvement of the radius. Patients with Madelung deformity had lower function based on PROMIS scores, similar to the control cohort, whereas all other PROMIS measures were similar to or better when compared to normal values. Pain interference scores in both cohorts were lower than normal values. Patients with Madelung deformity have decreased function, similar to the comparative cohort of patients with PRUS, but do not present with increased pain.

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.

Intracranial tumor in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (Scheie syndrome): An extremely rare combination.

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.
