congenital limb deficiency

Congenital limb deficiency is a condition present at birth where a person’s limbs (arms or legs) are partly formed or missing due to abnormal development during pregnancy. This can happen for various reasons, such as genetic factors, environmental influences, or issues during early fetal development. The severity can range from minor differences to complete absence of a limb. While it may affect movement or function, many individuals adapt well and may use prosthetics or other aids to assist in daily activities. Medical teams often provide surgeries, therapies, and support to improve mobility and quality of life.
