Abstract:
We experienced an atypical case of radial longitudinal deficiency that did not fit into any classifications, including Blauth. The patient had a bilateral hypoplastic thumb, in which the index and middle fingers were missing in the right hand. We performed surgeries in four stages: centralization of the right hand, opponensplasty of the right thumb, opponensplasty of the left thumb, and distraction lengthening of the right ulnar. Twenty-five years after the initial treatment, the patient was satisfied with the treatment and had no significant difficulty with activities of daily living.

01:11Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
01:25Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
