What are congenital limb differences?

Also known as: congenital limb abnormalities, congenital limb deformities, upper and lower limb reduction defects

Any kind of problem with how an arm or leg develops in the fetus can be classified as a congenital limb defect. In some cases, the limb has mild abnormalities, while in other cases it fails to develop at all.
