Introduction. 1  Definition length of the ulna compared to the radius. 2  Epidemiology demographic male:female relationship UV is lower in males than females. 3  Pathophysiology congenital Madelung deformity (positive UV) reverse Madelung deformity (negative UV) trauma/mechanical distal radius/ulnar fracture with shortening.
