Mirror hand and its management: a case report
It is crucial to remember that early intervention, ideally between 18 and 24 months of age, is key for optimal functional outcomes. Meticulous preoperative planning and surgical technique are essential. Long-term follow-up and parental counseling about the need for supervised physical therapy are important for managing secondary deformities. Additionally, digital subtraction angiography should be performed to rule out any associated neurovascular malformations.
