thalidomide worked. In a study of the nature, aetiology and pathology of what was named ‘dysmelia’,1-4 Willert and Henkel2,3 arranged a series of 287 thalidomide cases in order of increasing severity of limb reduction. Figures 1 and 2 summarise the pattern of the malformations5 and the teratological sequences which emerged from that study.

Vickers TH. PMCID: PMC2093848 PMID: Thalidomide is a sedative drug that was originally developed in Germany in 1954 by the pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal. It was marketed in the United Kingdom by Distillers (Biochemicals) Ltd under the brand name Distaval from April 1958 until late 1961. Elsewhere it has been known as Asmaval, Distaval Forte, Tensival, Valgis, Valgraine.

The condition is commonly known as limb deficiency or limb reduction defect. Combined with aspirin, thalidomide was used to treat everything from colds and coughs to asthma and nervousness.

Thalidomide survivors were born with a wide range of impairments. Most commonly they have missing or short and/or deformed limbs (phocomelia).12 This results in different anatomical conditions of the musculoskeletal system which can cause severe physical problems.

Amputation reasons may be severe burns, war injuries or blood poisoning (sepsis).

[43] Peripheral neuritis may be a limiting factor for long term use of thalidomide. Thalidomide also inhibits the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which may be useful in treating macular degeneration and other diseases. The hall-mark of thalidomide embryopathy was dysmelia, or reduction de- formity of the limbs.

The original damage caused by thalidomide consisted of dysmelia of the upper extremities in 154 cases (79.3% “twofold damage”) and dysmelia of both upper and lower extremities in 18 cases (9.8 Dysmelia (from Gr. δυσ- dys, "bad" + μέλ|ος mél|os, "limb" + Eng. suff.

Background Arthroplasty is a proven treatment option for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Common indications include primary or posttraumatic osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis of the humeral head, rotator cuff tear arthropathy and rheumatoid osteoarthritis.
