Abstract
Polydactyly is a common congenital extremity deformity in live births. We describe a 3-month-old boy with 11-fingered polydactyly with cleft hand, an extremely rare hand anomaly. The patient was treated with excision of the supernumerary rays and metacarpals, closure of the cleft and removal of excess adipose tissue. Follow-up, lasting 3 years, showed satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.
