Mirror hand anomaly: reconstruction of the thumb, wrist, forearm, and elbow.
Surgical procedures and the results of reconstruction of the mirror hand anomaly are presented. The thumb was reconstructed by pollicization of the radial third finger and multiple muscle transfer. The function of wrist, forearm, and elbow improved with arthroplasty of the affected joints. The results of the follow-up are satisfactory. We believe that surgical treatment of the mirror hand should be started in early life.
