Abstract
Ulnar dimelia is categorized under duplication and typically
consists of replication of the ulna, absence of radius, polydactyly
comprising seven or eight fingers, and no thumbs.
This results in a bizarre appearance that is often called “mirror
hand” because the hand, wrist, and forearm on the ulnar
side of the limb are reflected as symmetric opposites in the
frontal plane [1].
