title: The oldest reported mirror hand? The curse of the coal-house frog!
abstract: Despite being one of the rarest congenital upper limb abnormalities, a wide spectrum of the typical mirror hand has been described in the literature. We report a very interesting case of a new variant of mirror hand presenting in a 78-year-old man. The unique features of the case include  the age at diagnosis, the anatomical features present and the acquired function despite no form of reconstructive surgery.
