We report a rare case of acquired radial club hand with an associated septic dislocation of the elbow, primarily caused by compartment syndrome following venous cannulation. The deformity and instability were treated with distraction using an external fixator followed by a centralisation procedure. At the 2-year follow-up the appearance and functions of the left forearm had improved considerably and the wrist was stable. There was no deterioration in ulnar growth.https://doi.org/10.1177/230949900701500125
