Lisch nodules are associated with neurofibromatosis. Fibrous dysplasia in MAS can involve any bone but most commonly affects the long bones, ribs, skull and facial bones. There is no association between Madelung deformity and MAS.

Madelung deformity is a rare entity caused by an inherited condition called dyschondrosteosis which is transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene.14 The deformity at the wrist is due to an abnormality of growth of the ulnar half of the distal radial physis brought about by a soft tissue tether.14,15 The soft tissue tether is usually a strong abnormal ligament that links the proximal pole of the lunate to the palmar and ulnar cortex of the distal radius (Figure 20.5).

Madelung deformity is a cluster of anatomical changes in the wrist and forearm attributed to premature epiphyseal fusion at the volar-medial portion of the radial growth plate, with preserved growth of the ulna, and the formation of an aberrant ligament tethering the radius and carpus, usually at the lunate level [1]. The anomalous radiocarpal Vickers ligament has been postulated to play a role in the primary development of the deformity, together with bone growth disorder [2]. However, it is also possible that deformity may be secondary to the mechanical effect on soft tissue of the asymmetrical growth of the radius [3–6].
