Congenital limb deformities are congenital musculoskeletal disorders which primarily affect the upper and lower limbs. An example is polydactyly , where a foot or hand has more than 5 digits. Clubfoot , one of the most common congenital deformities of the lower limbs, occurs approximately 1 in 1000 births.
Of these, the majority are chromosomal anomalies. [96] Congenital disorders are not limited to humans and can be found in a variety of other species, including cattle. One such condition is called schistosomus reflexus and is defined by spinal inversion, exposure of abdominal viscera, and limb abnormalities. [97]
Dysmelia (from the Greek dys (δυσ-), "bad" + mélos (μέλος), "limb" + English suffix -ia) is a congenital disorder of a limb resulting from a disturbance in embryonic development. [ 1 ] Types

Frech, who was born with congenital limb differences that left him without a knee or fibula in his left leg and without fingers on his left hand, felt like he was stared at everywhere he went ...
In 1961, Frantz and O’Rahilly proposed that congenital anomalies of the limb could be classified in seven categories, based on the embryonic failure causing the clinical presentation. These categories are failure of formation of parts, failure of differentiation, duplication, overgrowth, undergrowth, congenital constriction band syndrome, and ...
The most common findings are lower limb fusion into a single extremity, deformities of the sacrum and pelvic girdle, absence of external genitalia, absence of anal patency, and lethal renal ...
