Zusammenfassung
In 30 Jahren haben wir an der Loma Linda-Universität acht Patienten mit neun Querknochen der Hand gesehen. Diese Patienten gehören zu der Gruppe von zentralen Fehlbildungen mit Spalthand und zentraler Polydaktylie. Diese beiden Entitäten könnten, wie in dem Artikel ausgeführt wird, eine ähnliche Ätiologie haben. Obwohl die Literatur in der Vergangenheit nur auf eine Behandlungsoption eingeht - die Entfernung des Querknochens -, berücksichtigen wir mehrere verschiedene Behandlungsoptionen.
Abstract
Over a thirty-year period at Loma Linda University, we have seen eight patients with nine crossbones of the hand. These patients fall into the group of central deficiency with a cleft hand and central polydactyly. As will be noted in the paper, these two conditions may have a similar developmental relationship. Although the literature in the past specifies mainly one option - to remove the crossbone - we consider several different options that one should think about before removal of the crossbones.
