The word paraxial, meaning beside the axis, has been used in limb deficiencies to indicate that either the preaxial or the postaxial portion of the distal half of the limb is involved. Paraxial hemimelia may be radial or tibial (both of which are preaxial) or ulnar or fibular (both of which are postaxial).  2, record 1, English, - hemimelia
