Abstract
Deformities of the wrist seen in the newborn include flexion and radial or ulnar deviation. Flexion deformity is most frequently seen in children with arthrogryposis (Smith and Drennan 2002), while radial or ulnar deviation is seen in association with radial or ulnar deficiencies (Broudy and Smith 1979; Roth et al. 1996).
