Surgical treatment of cleft hand and its associated deformities
Bull Hosp Jt Dis Orthop Inst.
1984 Fall.
Abstract
Surgical procedures frequently used in the treatment of the cleft hand and its related deformities are presented. The need to pay attention to the particular stage of the developmental mechanism producing the deformity before undertaking surgery is stressed, for in addition to closure of the central cleft, treatment must include correction of the various symptoms associated with the finger ray fusion.
