The Case of the Mirror Hand

The mirror hand syndrome is very interesting, and from this strange and interesting hand, you can see a lot of things. First, it might look like the person is holding himself or herself. Also, it might look like they are holding hands. The condition is also called ulnar dimelia, and in all of medical history, less than 100 people in the world have had it. This makes it even more rare. By looking at this unusual hand, you can tell that the person has eight fingers that mirror each other on one hand, but no thumbs.

Finger Without a Joint

Have you ever wondered what you would look like if your fingers didn’t have the joints in the middle? A woman was born without a middle joint in her right thumb. This is called congenital trigger finger. Because of her condition, the woman’s thumb is very soft and doesn’t bend. It’s not as rare as you might think; 3.3 out of every 1000 babies are born with it.
