The Classification of Phocomelia

G. TYTHERLEIGH-STRONG
G. HOOPER

From the Princess Margaret Rose Orthopaedic Hospital, Edinburgh, UK

Correspondence: Mr. G. Hooper, Consultant Hand Surgeon, St John’s Hospital, Howden Road West, Livingston, West Lothian EH54 6PP, UK. Tel: +44 1506 419666 X5152; Fax: +44 1506 460952; E-mail: ghooper{at}netcomuk.co.uk.

We studied 24 patients with 44 phocomelic upper limbs. Only 11 limbs could be grouped in the classification system of Frantz and O’ Rahilly. The non-classifiable limbs were further studied and their characteristics identified. It is confirmed that phocomelia is not an intercalary defect.
