Ectrodactyly, or cleft hand deformity, is a rare, probably heritable, developmental anomaly of the distal limb, due to a paraxial longitudinal deficiency of one or more elements of the distal limb bud in the developing embryo. It is characterized by the presence of an abnormal longitudinal soft tissue and bony separation or cleft in the distal limb, with associated hypoplasia, aplasia and malformation of one or more bones of forearm, carpus, metacarpus and digits. The Authors present a case of monolateral ectrodactyly in a young female dog. The dog was treated surgically with reconstruction of the soft tissues and stabilization of the metacarpal bones. Two years follow-up the clinical situation is satisfactory in presence of synostosis between the II, III and IV metacarpal bones and in presence of cleft of the II and III carpal bones

Abstract

Ectrodactyly, or cleft hand deformity, is a rare, probably heritable, developmental anomaly of the distal limb, due to a paraxial longitudinal deficiency of one or more elements of the distal limb bud in the developing embryo. It is characterized by the presence of an abnormal longitudinal soft tissue and bony separation or cleft in the distal limb, with associated hypoplasia, aplasia and malformation of one or more bones of forearm, carpus, metacarpus and digits. The Authors present a case of monolateral ectrodactyly in a young female dog. The dog was treated surgically with reconstruction of the soft tissues and stabilization of the metacarpal bones. Two years follow-up the clinical situation is satisfactory in presence of synostosis between the II, III and IV metacarpal bones and in presence of cleft of the II and III carpal bones
