This 2nd trimester fetus shows short forearm bone (radius) with radial deviation of the wrist. The image 2 nd is a B-mode ultrasound image showing this deformity of the hand. The other 3 images are 3-D (3 dimensional) ultrasound images showing the same anomaly in this fetus. These ultrasound images suggest fetal radial club hand anomaly. Radial club hand is the commonest fetal club hand anomaly. It is important to look for other fetal malformations as this anomaly is usually not isolated.
