Thirty-one patients were examined clinically as a part of a multi-disciplinary follow-up programme. Evaluation of upper and lower limb function was performed by validated questionnaires [Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Rheumatoid and Arthritis Outcome Score (RAOS), respectively] and radiographic appearance of lower limbs by the use of spiral computed tomography.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Five individuals had severe malformations of the lower limbs and proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), with significantly reduced function as found on the RAOS values. Twenty-seven patients had two fully functional arms and hands, despite the fact that 8% of shoulders, 26% of elbows\/forearms and 70% of hands were malformed. Loss of gripping function did not significantly affect the upper extremity function, as measured by the DASH score. Ten patients without major deformities had OA in the hips and 15 in the knees, mostly mild and with no effect on the RAOS value.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A wide variety of malformations in the upper and lower limbs was found in the study group. Degenerative changes were found in the hips and the knees but were mostly mild and without major clinical significance. Despite upper limb anomalies that affected the fine motor skills, upper extremity function was not significantly reduced for most individuals. Individuals with PFFD along with major deformities of upper limbs had a reduced function of upper as well as lower limbs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11832-014-0609-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,9]],"date-time":"2014-10-09T02:15:07Z","timestamp":1412820907000},"page":"423-433","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Long-term follow-up of thalidomide embryopathy: Malformations and development of osteoarthritis in the lower extremities and evaluation of upper extremity function"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Shadi A.","family":"Ghassemi Jahani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Kung\u00e4lv Hospital, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barbro","family":"Danielson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00f3n","family":"Karlsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aina J.","family":"Danielsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-s11832-014-0609-9","first-page":"77","volume":"163","author":"Lenz W","year":"1985","journal-title":"Prog Clin Biol Res"},{"key":"bibr2-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00039896.1962.10663250"},{"key":"bibr3-s11832-014-0609-9","first-page":"271","volume":"1","author":"Lenz W","year":"1962","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bibr4-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9926(199911)60:5<306::AID-TERA11>3.0.CO;2-Y"},{"key":"bibr5-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0095-5108(18)30810-8"},{"key":"bibr6-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tera.1420380308"},{"key":"bibr7-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tera.1420290109"},{"key":"bibr8-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4161\/cc.7.9.5793"},{"key":"bibr9-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(62)90462-2"},{"key":"bibr10-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1993.tb04997.x"},{"key":"bibr11-s11832-014-0609-9","first-page":"100","volume":"106","author":"Miller MT","year":"2008","journal-title":"Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc"},{"key":"bibr12-s11832-014-0609-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bdra.20609"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr13-s11832-014-0609-9","first-page":"1003","volume":"112","author":"Ruffing L","year":"1974","journal-title":"Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb"},{"issue":"11","key":"bibr14-s11832-014-0609-9","first-page":"405","volume":"98","author":"Ruffing L","year":"1980","journal-title":"Fortschr Med"},{"key":"bibr15-s11832-014-0609-9","unstructured":"Bj\u00f6rck M, Wanhainen A (2007) Knivigt fall fr\u00e5n Uppsala.
