Limb Reduction Disorders
Upper and lower limb reduction disorders occur when a part of or the entire arm (upper limb) or leg (lower limb) of a fetus fails to form completely during pregnancy. The disorder is referred to as a “limb reduction” because a limb is reduced from its normal size or is missing. Read more about Upper and Lower Limb Reduction Defects.
