Radial club hand is a longitudinal deficiency along the radial side of the upper extremity. Complete absence is the most common longitudinal deficiency. It can be diagnosed on the inspection of the forearm in an X-ray. It is frequently syndromatic and so it is imperative to look for associated congenital abnormalities or syndromes by doing a thorough clinical examination and appropriate investigations. An early diagnosis and a timely operative correction give a better outcome. We report here, a 7 year old neglected case of radial club hand as an isolated anomaly.
