Cleft hand, a congenital hand deficiency, impacts hand appearance and development. Surgical treatment aims to improve both the cosmetic aspect and function of the hand.
Area of Science:
- Congenital malformations
- Hand surgery
- Developmental biology
Context:
- Cleft hand is an uncommon congenital anomaly affecting central hand development.
- While hand function is often preserved, cosmetic concerns prompt medical consultation.
- Understanding classification factors is crucial for surgical planning.
Purpose:
- To define factors influencing cleft hand classification.
- To guide the selection of appropriate surgical procedures.
- To review surgical outcomes in cleft hand patients.
Summary:
- The study reviews 33 cases of operated cleft hands.
- It focuses on classifying the anomaly based on developmental factors.
- Surgical interventions aim to enhance aesthetic appearance and maintain hand function.
Impact:
- Provides a framework for classifying cleft hand deformities.
- Facilitates informed surgical decision-making.
- Contributes to improving functional and cosmetic outcomes for patients with cleft hand.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
