Includes bibliographical references (leaves 47-50). Rudimentary ulnar polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies. These are conventionally treated by suture ligation in the neonatal period or by formal excision, when the child is one year of age. For the last three years, the Congenital Hand Unit at Red Cross Children’s Hospital has used vascular clip ligation as an alternative method of treatment for rudimentary ulnar polydactyly, based on the same principle as suture ligation, but with less associated complications. A study was performed at the unit, where two hundred and nineteen supernumerary digits were treated over a two-year period. The digits were ligated using a vascular clip, as an outpatient procedure. 2014-07-28T14:23:19Z 2014-07-28T14:23:19Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/2845 eng application/pdf Division of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
