Abstract

The familial type of congenital split-hand associated with aplasia of the tibia is a very rare anomaly. Moreover, bilateral involvement of the hands and legs of the individual case is much rarer. In this paper, a case showing bilateral split-hand associated with bilateral tibial aplasia is presented, being the fourth case reported in the literature. The relevant literature is also reviewed.
