pubmed-article:7456714 | pubmed:abstractText | Of 300 assorted patients with various congenital abnormalities of the hand, there were 12 with mutiple malformations. It can be concluded that: 1. An accurate diagnosis requires genetic and chromsomal investigations. 2. If there is a slight organic or mental abnormality or damage, the treatment of the hand abnormality is justifiable and should be treated just as an isolated abnormality. 3. If the associated somatic or mental abnormality is severe, the correction of the hand abnormality should be delayed in accordance with the overall status of the child. | lld:pubmed |
