Other reduction defects of upper limb(s) - what does this mean
Other reduction defects of upper limb(s) occur when there is abnormal development of the upper limb during fetal development, resulting in underdeveloped or missing structures such as fingers, hands, arms, or shoulders. these defects may be caused by genetic or environmental factors, or a combination of both.
What happens during the disease - other reduction defects of upper limb(s)
Other reduction defects of upper limb(s) is a defect caused by a disruption in the normal development of the upper limb(s) during the fetal period. this disruption can be caused by a genetic mutation, environmental factors, or a combination of both. the disruption can lead to a range of defects, including limb malformations, incomplete formation of joints, and joint dislocations. in some cases, the defect can also lead to a decrease in the range of motion in the affected limb(s). treatment is usually focused on managing the symptoms, such as using physical therapy and splints to improve range of motion. surgery may also be necessary to correct the defect.
