Multiple Pelvic digits: a rare congenital anomaly

Authors: Laxman Rijal, Pravin Nepal

Published in: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology | Issue 5/2010

Abstract

Eleventh finger or pelvic digit is an uncommon congenital anomaly. Many cases are detected incidentally while evaluating back pain or other pelvic pathology. Though resembles Myositis Ossificans, clear cortico medullary differentiation and history of trauma ease up to diagnose this rare entity.
