Info
The frontal radiograph of the hands shows a relatively smaller right hand in general, with a short, broad middle phalanx of the right little finger.
Case Discussion
Clinical evaluation is not always sufficient for the diagnosis of Poland syndrome, and cross-sectional imaging and plain radiography of the hand and upper limb usually confirm the diagnosis and reveal any associated anomalies.
