Anomalous hands with cleft formation between the fourth and fifth digits.

Three similar cases of cleft hand deformities between the fourth and fifth digits accompanied by hypoplasia of the small finger are reported. After analyses of clinical photographs, radiographs, angiograms, and dermatoglyphic prints of these abnormal hands, it is difficult to fit them into either the ulnar ray deficiency or cleft hand categories of the system of classification adopted by the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand.
