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].
