Madelung deformity is a rare congenital anomaly of the wrist caused by asymmetric growth at the distal radius physis secondary to a partial ulnar sided arrest, leading to an ulnar and palmar curvature of the distal radius, positive ulnar variance, and proximal subsidence of the lunate. We report the case of a 19-year-old female with madelung deformity of the right wrist. Conservative management with oral analgesics, activity restriction, and a volar splint was done as the patient was skeletally mature, had only mild pain with no functional limitation or gross deformity.
