Figure 2: The absence of both radius was observed at a gestational age of 25 weeks.

From: Metacarpal Bone Plane Examination by Ultrasonography for the Diagnosis of Fetal Forearm and Hand Deformity

Figure 2

(A) Two-dimensional sonogram showing that both forearms are shortened, with only one long bone visible and with abnormal hand positioning (hook-like). The metacarpal bone plane could not be identified. (B) Macroscopic view of the fetus showing the shortening and bending of both arms. Additionally, both hands were in radius flexion, and abnormalities in the palm and fingers were observed.
