Abstract

We present a case of scapholunate coalition with absent fifth metacarpal on one hand, and scapholunate triquetral coalition on the other hand. The patient was asymptomatic, though he was aware of the deformity of the little and ring fingers on the right hand. No treatment was offered as the deformity was not incapacitating and the syndactyly did not interfere with hand function.

Özet

Çalışmamızda bir elinde beşinci metakarp yokluğu, skafolunat koalisyon ve diğer elinde skafolunatotrikuetral koalisyon gösteren bir olgu bildiriyoruz. Sağ elinde küçük ve yüzük parmağındaki deformitelerin farkında olmasına rağmen, hasta asemptomatikti. Deformite sakatlayıcı özellikte olmadığı ve sindaktili elin işlevselliğini kısıtlamadığı için tedavi önerilmedi.
