“…Thus, hemimelia is a congenital abnormality characterised by the complete or partial absence of one or more bones (Towle and Breur 2004); hemimelia is intercalary when all or part of the middle bones of a limb are absent, with the proximal and distal portions being present. On the other hand, longitudinal hemimelia indicates the absence of one or more bones along the preaxial (medial) or postaxial (lateral) side of the limb (Mo and Manske 2004;Towle and Breur 2004).…”

“…The case here described was named with the term hemimelia; this term indicates a congenital abnormality characterised by complete or partial absence of one or more bones (Towle and Breur 2004); the absence of a part of a limb (e.g. carpus) is termed ectromelia (ectro = absence of a part) (Noden and De Lahunta 1985).…”

“…Malformations of the extremities or parts of them vary in their manifestations, ranging from absence of a single structure to partial or complete absence of the limbs (Lallo et al 2001). The term dysostosis is used to define malformations of individual bones or groups of bones, caused by a failure of bone model formation or failure of the transformation of the bone model into cartilage or bone (Noden and De Lahunta 1985;Towle and Breur 2004).…”

A case of a unilateral forelimb congenital defect in a three-month-old female puppy dog with clinical and radiographic findings is described here. Congenital absence of humerus with preaxial terminal longitudinal hemimelia is a rare condition in human and animal species. Although similar congenital limb deformities in dogs have previously been documented, the present case is, to the authors' knowledge, the first report of this type of forelimb hemimelia in a dog, and represents an addition to the scant literature on this topic.

“…Especially in human, chick and mouse embryos, mutation of Wnt7a, En-1, FGF-2, Shh and Lmx-1 genes have been linked to the development of hemimelia (Chiang et al 2001;Towle and Breur 2004;Woods et al 2006). Also, hemimelia results from a lack of AER mesodermal interaction during limb outgrowth (Rantanen and Hegreberg 1982;Ogden and Grogan 1987;Towle and Breur 2004).…”

ABSTRACT:This article reports a case of a congenital unilateral forelimb defect in a two-month-old male puppy with clinical and radiographic findings. Congenital deformities are structural or functional congenital defects arising from errors during development, and they can affect an isolated portion of the body, the complete body or parts of several systems of the body. The congenital absence of a portion of the proximal epiphysis of the radius is an extremely rare condition in human and animal species. Although similar congenital limb deformities have been infrequently reported in dogs, the present case is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the first report of this type of partial forelimb paraxial radial hemimelia in a puppy, and it represents an addition to the scant literature on this topic.
