A variant of mirror hand: a case report.
We report a variant of mirror hand in a 3.5-year-old boy who presented with multiple fingers. The x-ray revealed an attempt at fusion of 2 hypoplastic radii, 1 ulna, and multiple fingers. The unique feature of this case is a broad radius with proximal notching suggesting failed incomplete duplication. The reasons for this duplication and duplication of the fingers appear to be different.
