A member asked:
I have madelung wrist deformity in both my wrists. is there any chance it could affect other joint?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: There are conditions that can be associated with madelung (such as dwarfism, osteochondromatosis) which could affect other bones/joints, but your wrist deformities may be isolated conditions. I would recommend further discussion with your physician.

No.: No. Madelung deformity is specific to the wrists only.
