Longitudinal reduction defect of ulna - what does this mean
Longitudinal reduction defect of ulna is a congenital condition in which one of the bones in the forearm, the ulna, is shorter than the other bone, the radius. this can cause the forearm to be curved or bent, and can lead to difficulty in performing activities that require use of the arm.
What happens during the disease - longitudinal reduction defect of ulna
Longitudinal reduction defect of ulna is a congenital disorder which occurs due to the improper development of the ulna bone. this condition is caused by a defect in the mesenchymal cells, which are responsible for the formation of the bone. the defect can be caused by genetic mutations, or environmental factors such as radiation or certain drugs. the disorder results in a decrease in the growth of the ulna bone, leading to a shorter bone than normal. the condition can cause pain, instability, and difficulty with movement of the affected limb.
