title: Cleft hands: classification and treatment.
abstract: "Atypical" cleft hand should be classified under symbrachydactyly because its etiology and clinical and radiologic findings are quite different from those of typical cleft hand. The operative treatment also differs considerably. For severe forms of cleft hand, the procedure described by Snow and Littler is recommended.
