title: Syndactyly and split hand. Supplement.
abstract: In a series of studies of clinical and radiological features of hand anomalies, the author has recently encountered cases which may be explained by reference to the relationship between syndactyly and split hand. These cases suggested how the typical split hand is formed prenatally, and it is concluded that the typical split hand should not be classed as "Arrest of Development of Parts" due to embryonal failures.
